A Date with the Ironing Board


After the Speech Therapists left, Kelli, the occupational therapist came. She was very impressed with his daily schedule plan and had him pencil in a few more activities, like lunches, and dinners. She then had him make his own lunch. He was going for a PB and J, but thought better of it and opted for a tuna salad sandwich, chips, and pop. She had him make the sandwich and clean up afterward. She then asked him if he thought that he had included all the basic food groups in his menu. He instantly realized he had forgotten something. (It was not the Butterfingers Group. )She also had him work out for fifteen minutes on the arm bicycle to increase his endurance. To encourage him to do his own laundry, she suggested he put his laundry basket in the bathroom so he could remember to keep his laundry separate from the rest of the family. He was okay with that, but when she mentioned ironing his Sunday shirt some more, he decided it was time for her to go. She left promising to remind Marc, the other occupational therapist, that he and Will had a date with the ironing board on Thursday.
