How Has Jess Progressed with Daily Living Skills

Описание: Lately, I've been getting questions (and advice) about Jessica's progression with household responsibilities and Daily Living Skills. Some have even suggested I need to hire a teacher to teach Jess these things. I truly wonder if those people think that has never been attempted. The truth is that we have been working on teaching these things for a lifetime with only minimal progress.

Jess is 33-years-old, autistic, and blind. Her favorite topics of conversation include getting a new dog, her friend Keely, her Aunt Sue, and cousin Donna. Jess collects CD’s of children’s music, cards, coloring books, and has a small collection of used up disposable cameras that she refuses to get developed. Favorite health foods include chicken and rice, chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, chicken biscuits, pepperoni pizza, and hash brown potatoes. Jess has naturally curly hair that she would rather not ever comb, brush, or cut.

Jessica’s multiple disabilities stem from brain damage that occurred in-utero, and from hydrocephalus. In addition to autism and blindness, Jess also has minor fine motor and gross motor deficits. Hannah is Jessica's sister, and Marlow is Jessica's paid support staff (and Hannah's best friend.)
