In-Home part 2

We've had a couple of visits from Alex's lead therapist. She thinks he's adorable and cuddly, so I like her. *grin*

How the deal is going to work is that Alex has 35 hours a week of in-home therapy. Drive time is included in that, as well as collateral time, so at least to begin with, he'll only really have about 24 hours of face to face time. For right now, that is plenty. As the program goes on, collateral time will grow less, and if he seems to need more time, they'll work on reducing drive time. We're planning on having them visit with Alex at his dad's house every other weekend too. Alex tends to give Brad more vocalizations, so I'm looking forward to them seeing how Brad and Alex interact. His lead therapist was pretty impressed with his non-verbal requests, which he is good at.

He'll have 2 lead therapists, with another, more experienced lead therapist overseeing them. And he'll have 3 or 4 line therapists. That's a lot of people tramping through the house, but I'm sure Alex will do well with it.

The therapists work in 2 hour shifts, which is great, because I think 2 hours is just about the maximum that someone can keep up with Alex without becoming distracted.

More later.
