Today I took Daniel to a new psychologist to gain resources, plans, ideas, etc. for behavioral therapy, learn to identify and express his anxiety, and to try to learn more about Daniel. I am with Daniel almost 24/7. The only time I am not with him is when I go to the store or try to get some very rare time by myself.
It does not happen often.
I am working on that because another goal that I have is to help Daniel become more independent of me. Even though I am with Daniel so much there is still many things that he does not communicate. He is speech delayed and gets therapy for this. It used to be that he did not talk now we are teaching him to use language and to learn emotional expression and communication. I also want to learn the ways that he expresses himself. He may not use words, but he is having a difficult time expressing certain emotions. Our goal is to find his way of expressing these emotions in a proactive way.
