As I have documented in my 'real' blog this month, Livie has made some tremendous progress just before she began the tDCS therapy sessions. In mid December, she began taking herself to the bathroom on her own. This is after almost a year of working with her on a schedule. She had suddenly decided to go into the bathroom on her own. I speculate that some of this had to do with the fact that about a month earlier, she had finally learned how to open a doornob; that freedom to come and go from the bathroom may have given her the confidence to recognize and act on her 'urges' independently. In any event it was a momentous breakthrough.
Also, a couple of weeks before this, Liv had began to use a verbal request for a particular food item from me. Paa..Paa, she would say after she had pointed my hand to the new Potato Snacks she loves. Also two of her therapist had commented that she had been more verbal of late
