Chloe is now working on her City bus skills. She is using her arms at SVDP thrift store hanging up clothes and straightening shelves. Friday night we will check out a meal program to see how she can help out there once a week with a two hour shift helping with supper. September we will also check back at the YMCA to see if she can volunteer behind the front desk and how that paper work is progressing.

Chloe's sensitivity to sounds keeps improving this is a suggested reason why that might be so!
Excerpt from the book:


                                                 Language sensitivity

Prosody is the rhythm, stress and intonation of speech.
Various features of prosody are the emotional state, the form of the utterance
 (statement, question or command). Other features maybe the
presence of irony or sarcasm, emphasis, contrast and focus.
All of these are processed in the right hemisphere of the brain.

Chloe’s bulging disc is at a mild state and she has improved control of her left side of her body which is connected to the right hemisphere. She is now able to tolerate more discussions around her
and listen to singer with unique voices.
She still is very concerned about laughing or clapping but not sure if
 she still having issue with them or if she still thinks she will have
 pain when she hears them so it is more a conditioned response.
