Chloe through her exercising at the YMCA and her volunteering at the thrift store. She is finally understanding her ears are protected by ear plugs. So she doesn't need hold her ears when she sees people talking and laughing. That took a lot of activities in the community for her to understand and believe these ear plugs would protect her ears. The ultimate goal would be to wear one ear plug in her right ear to protect her tinnitus. We also are working on that they are laughing about something they are discussing and not her. Her first explanation of why she held her ears was, "Stop laughing at me!"
Chloe's exercise routine is called the abrupt work out. Six laps around the track is a mile. We will go 3-6 laps stopping at workout rooms to do 5-10 minute exercising with the equipment in the room we stopped in.
Chloe had problems with abrupt changes so this exercise routine really seems to be helping this issue. Shopping in the mall below we also change up the stores we stop at where we look for items we may need.
Chloe's understanding of concepts is helping her navigate her world and she is able to explain why she does what she does. Her medication seems to be a big help here.
So far left arm working below her left shoulder does not trigger the nerve pain in her head only when she lifts her arm above her head and twists the wrist and elbow
