Oliver At 9 Years
Summer, 2001
At 9 years Oliver can -
- fasten some small buttons unaided
- put his socks on, but is not aware of where the
heel section should go
- give a short response on the telephone e.g.
“yes” or “hello” before handing over the receiver
- play alongside other children so long as they
leave him alone
- really enjoy playing in the rain or snow if
he has Wellington boots on, but cannot tolerate any water or dirt on his
school shoes or trainers
- make himself ‘at home’ in other people’s houses
if they have a computer that they are prepared to let him use. He will even explore houses in search
of computers!
- sit quietly during music shows and
concerts. He will sometimes move
to the rhythm of the music and use his hands to ‘conduct’.
- enjoy weekly swimming sessions with Dad and uses
his own stroke to move through the water.
He can also float vertically without moving!
