Abbie is not interested in anything they don’t want to work on with her.
I don’t doubt she can’t use a pen or a pencil, but to say it’s because she’s not interested is stupid.
Oh no, not the Christmas ornaments. I wonder if they will do them this year. Leghumpers will enjoy it but anyone else can see its clear exploitation. Assa will give some long speech about how they help Abbie or help spread awareness. Maybe they’ll give the money to charity for once.
So it’s like a cheer,that’s cool! I didn’t known that! Thank u for the link!Here is the wiki explanation that comes closest to what I have always understood it to mean:
Opa (expression) - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
The Christmas ornaments do not need to be redone ever again.
Well...except to make the prototype.
Assa has figured out that he can have them mass produced and sell 1000s of them for what? $10.00 each?
It's just more exploitation and fukery.
Oh and Christmas money!!

Did they do the ornaments last year? I can’t remember. While I’m sad that Crazy Nanny stopped being respite, I am happy she got away. However, she did keep Abbie busy and involved. And she also talked to Abbie, not at Abbie.
Ya they did. They pretended Ab did it with glitter. Then put dumbass things they say on the other side.
Yes.
They made one and said Abbie did it, put dumb words on the back of it and Assa had it mass produced.
They had Summer mailing out hundreds if not thousands of them. Boxes were everywhere. I kept trying to figure out how many per box but I gave up.
Does anyone besides me wonder what Crystal would look like dressed as a female? A dress and heels?
I think she could be attractive. She does have nice features. It’s not her though.
Many times 3-5 year olds don’t like coloring or using pencils/crayons. But if they get some interaction with someone doing it with them they begin to like it. And again, there’s a lot of things Abbie doesn’t like but that doesn’t stop her parents from still doing it! And I’m not saying Abbie would become a great artist, but give the child a chance to try new things throughout her life and fine motor skills can be worked on with her daily. Have her draw circles around a cookie for goodness sake. They give her cookies anyway make a game out of it. In kindergarten my kids had to count skittles and group them by colors, and at the end they got to eat the skittles. (I’m sure this will never happen with covid now!)
And, how do they know she wouldn’t like to try and color now as a teen? Has anyone sat with her and done anything one on one? Not that I see.
Priss makes time to get her fattening iced coffees everyday, she can’t spend 30-60 mins actually sitting with her kid and working on something? Ugh!
To be honest, she'd look like a guy in a dress.
If nothing else it would help with her muscle tone and small motor skills. Just not doing it at all is ridiculous.Many times 3-5 year olds don’t like coloring or using pencils/crayons.

You must have been absolutely terrified!!! Were you injured at all?
You should have put a disclaimer that the photos would get more disturbing towards the end. Crikey, Lurch is sometimes very scary to look at
Have you ever heard of Nicole Bass? She was the world's largest female bodybuilder and used to go on the Howard Stern Show. Fred used to imitate her, sounding like Herman Munster. Every time I was Lurch I think of Nicole with Fred's voice
OMG! You are so lucky to be able to walk away from that crash. I'm sure your body is screaming at you today. Sending hugs.
Holy crap!!! I am so very very glad you're alright! Us Tattlers are made of tough material!
I've been in a couple car accidents before and I know how terrifying they are.
Sending love.
developmentally she probably wouldn’t be able to write. Mark making, leads to marks that mean something, to letters and writing. An 18 month old is only at the ‘oh look when I put this thing near the paper it does something to the paper’ stage. An 18month old doesn’t generally have much interest in mark making. Being able to hold a pen the correct way is also a developmental thing as well. A pincer grip doesn’t happen until around 3 or 4. To be able to hold a pencil correctly and copy or trace a symbol or a shape actually takes quite a few skills- hand eye coordination, fine motor skills, muscles, understanding of what marks can be made, that they have meaning. I don’t think learning to write or colour is a priority for her particularly. I do agree that she should have access to things to mark make with occasionally, pens, paper, paint, paintbrush and water on the patio etc to develop and encourage it. It’s part of the activities that they don’t seem to think she needs. Again they neglect what she would really want to do and give her the things she couldn’t care less about.
I’m sure JSA does do more than just therapies, but from what I’ve seen or heard them talk about, they don’t seem to do anything that meets their developmental needs. They teach them life skills and buying cookies and setting a table, but do they give them play type activities? Do they give them sensory activities? They seem to force them into a looking normal box rather than letting them be nurtured. I don’t know if they makes any sense!
I typed in pmld school (which would be the sort of school would probably attend in the uk) to google and looked at the first school the curriculum talks about continuous provision (learning through play), sensory activities, cooking. Usually schools like this will have their own in house therapies or NHS ones that visit regularly. It just seems worlds away from what JSA offer. They seem to just want to train them like dogs not enrich their lives with experiences and things they will enjoy and learn from along the way.

I wish I could love & like these posts a million times!
I think Abbie would most definitely get SOMETHING out of activities and exercises like that. @SCCOct66, as you said, working on her muscle tone and fine motor skills. I think those things are very important. Especially because, as we've seen, when Abbie goes for long periods without doing a certain task, her abilities to do those tasks deteriorate and in some cases become lost.
No, Abbie will never write a letter or her name. But there are other benefits to these activities that Abbie would gain from.
And, as you said @Justcheckingin, it doesn't have to be complicated or overly involved. It can be extremely SIMPLE, basic, and easy to do. You just have to do it.
But, A&P can't be arsed to do it. A&P just like to use the excuse "Oh, Abbie isn't interested in _____" when they're asked about doing something for or with Abbie that they themselves don't feel like doing. Like the sensory room and sensory activities. Princess Petty especially will be quick to say Abbie just interested in those things. She's even said something along the lines of "She's a teenager, you know?".... still trying to push that typical teenage girl narrative. Then we see Abbie stimming with newspapers, advertising fliers, fast food bags, whatever she can get her hands on. Hell, when Assa gave her money to pay for her treats the other day, the first thing Abbie did was stim with the money. But no, Abbie has absolutely NO interest in sensory things...

exactly! In the video someone posted big p talked about the OT working with her to provide a sensory diet for her to help her with her sensory needs. Big P said that she now doesn’t need that because she can provide it for herself. No no NO! If she has sensory needs, she will always have sensory needs. We all need and have sensory input that we do to help us feel calm (stroking, rocking, humming etc) Abbie NEEDS those things so that she can regulate herself! The point of calling it a sensory diet is that it’s regular…..like a dietI wish I could love & like these posts a million times!

If you stopped eating you’d be hungry pretty quick, if you don’t get the sensory input you need you become grumpy pretty quick. These people have literally no clue whatsoever! They think sensory needs is occasionally doing an activity with soil once a year and overloading her with sensory input she finds difficult in a place they’ve dragged her too. Maybe just maybe if they reduced the sensory input from things they know she doesn’t like and increase other sensory input she might have a lot less difficult behaviour.- Status
