Christopher Thigpen was named January 2012 Student of the Month! He received this award because he has come so far since he started services in his home two years ago!
When Christopher began therapy it was very difficult for him to attend to the ABA discrete trials (intense repetitive learning style) and very difficult for him to separate from his mom. He is now coming to Rainbow Preschool 5 days a week and stays 1 hour afterschool to do some 1:1 work with each of his therapists.
Christopher has a great spirit and sense of humor. He enjoys sensory activities, especially tactile bins and finger painting. He is becoming a great peer model for the other children in the room as well as making fast progress on all of his goals. Christopher makes sure we all do not get too serious and remember to laugh. It has been a pleasure working with him for the past 2 years and watching him grow into the strong, confident child he has become!
