We love morning preschool, Annabelle is definitely more attentive than in the afternoon. She was approved last month for music therapy at school 2 x's a week which is a great addition to her current therapies. She still receives PT, OT, Speech, and AT (assistive tech therapy - working on using her proslate for communication).
Outside of school we have also continued with music therapy and horse therapy weekly. Just for fun we decided to add in dance and gymnastics. She loves them both and they are great for strengthening her low tone upper body and work on balance along with numerous other things. I'm also looking into yoga for her this winter, she loves doing the poses and again it will help with strength.
A couple weeks ago we went to the circus and Annabelle loved it! She was so amazed with the dancers, elephants, tigers, dogs, horses, and guys on the trampoline. She kept pointing at them then looking at us with the biggest smile. It's amazing how big she is getting and how much "communication" she has with being nonverbal.
I'm sure I'm missing a ton of what we have done so I'll close with lots of pictures :)
