An Offer He Couldn't Refuse

Wednesday Will’s speech therapist, Lisa, came. She had him do a number of cognitive exercises testing his memory on different levels from mathematical calculations to recalling current political and cultural figures, to details of a picture he looked at last week. He did very well with almost all of the exercises. The contemporary figures were a little harder for him to bring up, but he did get those with some cuing. She suggested he might want to go it alone for a while using the strategies he’s been taught to see if he couldn't do with speech therapy what he has already done with physical and occupational therapy and that is out-grow their usefulness. It was a nice vote of confidence. Will decided to take her up on her offer. He gave her his latest treatise on lawn mowing along with a two week vacation from visiting him. The vacation idea suited both of them very well.
