5 Comments Magic Marker Monday: Jelly Bean Letters
As with many kids on the autism spectrum, Michael has difficulty with some fine motor skills, especially related to handwriting. He still has trouble with coloring, although he has improved a lot, and he will go through an activity/coloring books and do all the activities but ignore the coloring pages.
I was so excited when this paper came home from school last week. The OT gave him this page of “jelly bean letters” for his to fill in with colored pencils, using a pencil grip. He was grumbling at first, but once he saw that he could do a good job on it, he even asked her to send the rest of the alphabet home with him, and he has been working on them off and on all week.

He really did wonderfully.
I am so glad to have all of you bloggers that are further ahead of me in the austism diagnosis. It gives me a chance to see what is in our future for my son Will. Thank you for posting about it.
Happy Monday!
