Exponentially

This is Norfi - Matt's therapy horse. He's had two sessions now and he loves it.

Matt was explaining to us the other day how he was getting better with just a slight incline and now it's become a steeper incline. It only took him two tries to be able to repeat the word exponentially, so his speech is coming along. We're working on finding him more functional things (like writing checks and IDing traffic signs) to do for speech therapy now and that seems to be making a big difference. I walked in the other day and he was looking at a magazine (which he has not wanted to do yet) and he said he's starting to be able to understand more when he tries to read.

He left OT on Friday telling me that he thought it went really well - which hasn't happened for as long as I can remember. He's always been so frustrated by OT that he doesn't really like to talk about it, so when he came out happy with the session it was a really good sign.
