We have been working with our new speech therapist from St Giles to help with Veronika’s nutrition. One thing that the speechy at ECIS made for Veronika to use, just before Christmas was a finished sign.

Thats the black and white circle next to Veronika’s plate.

As you know Veronika hardly eats anything, and often we end up with an upended plate on the floor. I had been trying to figure out how to stop her throwing her plate when she has had enough to eat. The Speechy we were seeing thru ECIS, thought maybe the finished sign might help.

It seems to be working. Not that Veronika is eating any more than she used to….and now I am putting less on the plate to minimise the risk of having to pick it up off the floor. But Veronika has been putting her plate on the finished sign, when she has had enough, and now I don’t have to pick up anywhere near as much off the floor as I had to before!
