From back in June A little about Keira…

From back in June.
A little about Keira.
I am told that In Home Support team members use clinical terms when referring to client behavior. The term used most when discussing Keira: “She’s messing with you.”
Comments I’ve heard repeatedly about Keira “That was Keira?!? That was legend at The Reach School, but I didn’t know it was Keira.”
Yup! 6 years old and already a legend!
Another great comment about Keira: “So for Keira we’ve collected consistently inconsistent data.”
She intentionally flusters professionals with Masters Degrees, not sure if I should be proud or horrified.
School meetings: “We’ve been working very hard with Keira on X, Y and Z, but she’s not making much progress.”
Me: She can do that on her own without help – she’s manipulating you.
OT: She doesn’t seem to have a lot of balance.
Me: Lady, she rides her scooter board like a skate board. She jumps the distance between the bed and the trampoline with her eyes closed – moving on!
Today Keira ran her entire IHS program on her own. When IHS staff got here it went more like this:
IHS Staff: Where is the horse?
Keira: There it is.
IHS: The horse is on the table. Where is the horse?
Keira: There it is!
Me: KEIRA DO IT RIGHT
Keira: The horse is on thhhhh There it is! (Giggle giggle.)
