Her mainstream Preschool have been really good with her lately. She does present as a challenge for them but they have responded very well to her. They have purchased a Dark Den (pic below) and she absolutely loves it!! So i have ordered one for at home. Her Special preschool have been very good too and they have reported that she has been trying to do some 'signing' in song time. Which i have noticed a little at home. They use Signalong as opposed to Makaton. I will be going on a Signalong Course in May but have the book already and have been practising. They use Signalong at the School she will be going to.
For a little while now Twinkle has been getting a little obsessed with door frames. She will sit for ages prodding the frame with her finger, a stick or even a banana (if I'm not quick enough). She is also paying particular interest in the shiny hinges and door handle, although when she becomes very distressed, as she does from time to time (actually quite often lately) she will bite the metal door handle out of frustration.
I hoping that the Dark Den will help her as at the moment she is getting very stressed and i feel it is due to her senses being overloaded. And hopefully it will be a dark quite place where she can retreat to.
Halo♥

Yes, We All Need A Private Space.It sounds good ."Singalong"? Sounds good too! 'not heard of it (I,m out of touch these days)I always had mixed feelings about Makaton.so might be a wise choice.
You All Have A Nice Weekend.

Hi Tony, it's 'Sign-a-long' not sing-a-long haha, it's easily mixed up. :)
Yes apparently Makaton has a limited vocab.
The suns out here, hope its out where you are and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
You cheer my heart with your news of all the little signs of light shining in Twinkle's mind. wonderful too that you have got a place for her in the school you wanted.
Hugs, lots of 'em.
I haven't heard of signalong either. Jamie uses a mixture of Makaton and Jamie signs. His own ones can be a bit of a challenge to work out sometimes. So glad you got your first choice of school. It makes such a diffrence if they are somewhere that everyone is happy with.
This is really positive news. I'm so pleased for you and of course Twinkle. A wonderful step in the right direction.

C has a thing about doors to!
Shoe shopping! Excellent!!
Hope it all goes well. I know nothing about signing but my little boy's school using Makaton across the all areas of the school. Puts me to shame when I go in and can't even remember just one sign. Will promise to do better. The dark den look fab :-D
The dark den sounds like a good idea. I wouldn't mind getting one for myself to have as a place to get away for a little while :)
Yup my son seems to spend most of his time in the 'chill out' area at school lately. Can't quite figure out what's going on though.
Best wishes
