Friday Wrap Up

Tuesday morning Charlie Claire had another vision assessment with Donna.  The assessment went really well and there are definitely areas CC has improved in since her last assessment in May and now we have some new areas to focus on.  Last time Donna was here she recommended Charlie getting registered with the Virginia Department of the Blind and Visual Impaired.  We hadn't done much with this but C's service coordinator went ahead and sent the referral over and amazingly we got an appointment for the next day - it usually takes a few weeks.

Wednesday the lady from the vision department came out and did not need to do an assessment since Donna had just done one the day before but basically she went over all of the things that are available for Charlie now and in the future.  I know it sounds silly but we don't ever think of Charlie Claire as being partially blind or visually impaired even though we know that she technically is.  Since Charlie is so young it is hard to say exactly what she will need down the road, if anything at all. So while we are grateful that Charlie has so many services available to her throughout her life it is also weird to think that she may need some of them. 

This morning Miss Nina was here for C's weekly session.  Nina always brings such fun toys for Charlie to play with and she also worked with Charlie on a couple of the vision things that Donna had suggested earlier in the week.  Here a couple pics from this mornings session.
