Guidance

I wanted to write you a quick note to let you know how things are progressing with *Sam, but I first want to thank you and Drena for all of your help and guidance through the processes.

*Carrie & I are very blessed to have Sam, but as you know, his impulsivity has been a great concern to us. Your interaction with us has been terrific and I can’t compliment Drena enough. When she learned that the staffing was all in place for Sam she immediately called to tell me the great news. I love her enthusiasm and really enjoy our conversations.

Sue is our Behavior Specialist from Horizons and she has been great. She is extremely responsive to our questions and concerns. Although it has only been two weeks since the program started, Sue has been calling us on a regular basis to keep us informed of Sam’s progress and the progress of the TSS... It’s difficult to get Sam to talk about his day, but he certainly likes to talk to his new friend Ms. Heather, [his new TSS]. Sue has been giving us some ideas on how to work with Sam at home, which we have been implementing.

We found a large puppet snake on-line and Sam loves it, except now he wants a real snake just as big. He is great with the snake and it enables us to engage him in a two way conversation, which is teaching him how to converse without the puppet. His day care has been very accommodating and has said good things about Sue. They even let Sam bring his snake to class, thanks for the suggestion.

Again, I just wanted to thank you and tell you how appreciative we are of your help. We look forward to talking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Mr. & Mrs. R
