Exploring

As Victor has become better able to regulate his emotions and outbursts, we have been "exploring" (as he likes to call it) more. Exploring can happen at the grocery store, Dollar Store, Tractor Supply, and most recently, the pet store.

These explorations double as cane skills practice.

I think the pet store was his favorite exploration so far. He can see a little out of his right eye if the object is well-lit, has enough color contrast, and is close enough.

And some of the animals were!

The mice were by far his favorite!

What most of us don't realize is that the animals can be explored with hearing, too. Try it sometime. Go ahead and stick your ear right next to the mouse tank. What do you hear?

And, possibly one of my favorite places to explore - the frozen yogurt place!
