Soccer Time!

So something that is very frustrating to me is finding extracurricular activities for my kids that they will enjoy but are adapted for their abilities.  Luckily, The Child Enrichment Center (their ABA provider), decided to throw in some recreationnal therapy once a week.  They hired someone that is teaching my kids soccer.  Of course, as with anything with autism, the teaching is in baby steps, but it is so sweet to see my kids trying something that they would be trying at that age anyway.

Caiti has great aim, and she understands how to tilt her foot and where to place it on the ball to get it just where it needs to be.

 Garrett would be great at getting ahead of the team...once he learns how to dribble the ball.  His coach was chasing him down a lot of the time.  :)  He also would make a good goalie...after he got the concept...cause he thinks it's very fun to sit under the goal.  Guess we can work on that one.  :)
When all is said and done, high fives for trying.  I'm a proud mama.
