Still Not Talking

This is the time of the year when I feel both frustrated and hopeful. I have been working on skills all year and I wonder if I’m at a dead end or just maybe….there’s a glimmer of hope, a spark! I know the kids well enough by now to know what gets them excited. The things they want to do and the things they refuse. If I just keep going, keep up the routine, will I see progress? There is nothing better than reporting a new skill. I can’t help but feel frustrated at times, but patience is key!
