So I spoke to both Megan's teacher and her new school SLP this morning. Her teacher said it would be fine to skip Megan's speech session today until we have a chance to discuss what is going on with her new SLP; so that is what we did. Megan did not get speech at school today - her one on one session for the week.
When I spoke to the SLP she said she didn't wear any perfume and didn't have fragrant soap, lotion etc and that she was in Megan's classroom every day so why would the two days she spent time with Megan make a difference. I explained that she touches Megan's hands and Megan puts them in her mouth, etc. She just couldn't believe that she was the cause of the sleeping issues.
Well....since this started, despite being exhausted, Megan hasn't been napping either. She would get one occasionally during the week and nap on the weekend. So she wasn't getting enough at night and still wouldn't nap during the day because of whatever she was exposed to. She received her group therapy session on Monday, which caused a crazy bad night on Monday and then a better, but still bad night last night. Now that she is two days from exposure she was able to nap today.
I am assuming tonight will be progressively better than last night. The problem at this point is that since the lady can't figure out what she is doing that is causing the problem how do we make it better. Megan needs as much speech as she can get so I am not sure what we will do going forward.
This afternoon Megan had her external speech session and she did amazing with the speech app on the iPad. It is still not the app I want her using, we are hoping to switch over on Monday, but it is what is available at the moment. She is purposefully pushing "more" and "go" and "on". It is so awesome to watch. I can't wait to see what she can do when she has access to the software fulltime and not just twice a week for 20ish minutes. I am waiting to demo the software before we buy it because it is expensive and if it doesn't do what we want we can't return it.
