Family Training Meeting held on 2/25/11:
Discussed Coco's progress.  Therapists reported good progress.  OT showed how to use the massage and deep compression techniques.

CPSE:
Finish being evaluated last week.  She would qualify for the services.  However, haven't received any reports yet.  Psychiatrist and Speech Pathologist recommended that she be in a center-based program.

What we are working on:
1. Using consistent vocabulary with Coco, such as 'Sit', 'Kick', 'Trash', 'Run', 'Shoes', 'Socks', 'Light On', 'Light Off', 'In', 'Shower', 'Open', 'Close', 'Laundry', 'Up', 'Down', 'Feet down', 'Ice Cream', 'Ball', 'Juice', 'Pants'.
2. Trying the massage techniques. 
3. Looking for a center-based EI program.  Will visit some schools this week.
