As we discover each day new things that help Simmi and hinder her, I have started to videotape her more and more. We purchased a few toys from Good Will that we thought she would enjoy. One was a light up stacker toy that made music, and the other was a musical guitar without lights. She did well at first with the lighted toy, but she started to get increasingly irritated and upset and then she couldn’t perform this very simple task of putting objects on and taking them off the toy easily. After taking the batteries out of this toy, she was finally able to put the objects on and off correctly.
Here is the video of her getting frustrated. You’ll also see at one point, she starts to put her hands in her hair. If I never cut her hair so short, she would have been able to pull a lot of it out during this session.
