My sense of it is that you don't have to go out of your way to maintain what

isn't being lost, (Testing for that, what may be lost may be the more important

thing to be doing in that respect) but where things seem to be slipping away,

(from testing or otherwise) of not being rewarding enough as intrinsically

rewarding enough as maintained of the child's natural environment, (of the

benefits from having such knowledge or skill) then as long as that (maintenance,

of extrinsic or artificial reinforcement relative to getting there, to dovetail

or integrate to the more natural and sustainable reinforcements) takes to

happen, but not so long as to compromise higher priorities (and things that are

taking) that you would need to address to live within your means so as not to

compromise everything you are trying to do with what you have to do it with, I

would say to that.

Where things are lost relatively quickly after mastery (initial mastery?) I

believe would suggest the knowledge or skill may prove not to be functional

and/or a priority enough to keep, thereof? Some things have to be let go as

circumstances prove and change, thereof. I see that quite a bit, where you may

have to decide to let things go (eventually?) for what is more meaningful and

important for all that you're trying to do. Things could be re-introduced

(re-approached, perhaps) at another time as the circumstances (of context)

changes. Some things seem to " take and hold " better after other things are

introduced first, in that respect.

A lot of " intuition " (specific to the individual in question) is necessary for

all of that, of what to try and do of the data, for where to go with things with

individuals for understanding more, (for yourself, I'd say) is my sense of that.
