Mason the movie star

Therapy began today which means this was my view during each session so that Mason could get acclimated to his therapist, eating 3 "meals" a day, and techniques and his focus could be solely on her.

Mason the "movie star"

Mason showed gains with each session which is exciting. He ate today for 10 minutes with a timer started so that he knows when the timer goes off he is finished. He handled that great. She began using reinforcement (musical toys) to encourage him to close his mouth and swallow after each bite. That is the goal right now because if he develops a more timely swallow then he can take in more volume per "meal". He receives 3 sessions a day: 8 am, 10:30 am, and 1:00 pm and then he is done. We have lots of down time between each session and after the 1pm we head back to our "home" for now. He is handling the change well and I am pleased with his progress. He improved volume wise (even though that is not the focus quite yet) from 2g to 4 g to 5g in our last session. 

Passing some time as we wait.
