Trisha's school for a parent/teacher meeting to review

with them the new software for Trisha's laptop. I asked the teacher to bring

her laptop down to the meeting so that I could demonstrate the new

communication board. When we finished the meeting the teacher went upstairs

to tell

the TA to get Trisha ready to leave with me to go home. Well I waited and

waited and no Trisha after about 10 mins I saw one of her team members and

asked

what the hold up was. He went to check and came back saying Trisha was

sitting on the floor refusing to get ready to leave. I asked if he wanted me

to go " motivate " her to get ready and he said not yet that he wanted the TA to

learn to work around one of these " moments " . Well I waited about 15 more

mins and the same team member came and said she isn't here yet? As he was

getting ready to go check on her again it dawned on me that we had her laptop

and

she usually packs it up each afternoon to come home so I asked him to take

her laptop to her. Shortly afterwards here she comes with her TA and sure

enough she was not leaving until she got her laptop back. lol Her TA also

wrote a note saying that without her computer in class Trisha refused to work.

She was calm and even laughed some but was not able to focus or follow her

schedule. Once the computer was returned she jumped up to change and go

home.

The TA said when they got downstairs see I told you mom was here didn't you

believe me and Trisha in her normal old self said one of her favorite words.

Nooooooooo! lol

Hi Carol,

I LOVE it, Just like we would not leave without our pocketbook, or brief

case she knew she should not go home without her lap tap

love, Viola

Hi Carol,

Totally agree, love how Trisha is displaying interest towards one of

her valuable tools/learning style that has motivated her, stays engage

with which she learns best and most of all " when possible " using it as

her " Voice " .

Glad this behavioral standpoint was not overlooked and you were able

to figure out Trisha's behind the scene communication moment.

Carol, I love it. She sure showed everyone how much she likes her

laptop. And then to answer with the noooooo was priceless.
