Couch 143: The Mr. Rogers Love Transformation

Is this the place where I can come to tell the world that my T is excellent!? Just thinking of today's session and I have no idea how can someone be so good. She is extremely smart, has a great sense of dry humour, is compassionate and understanding without getting too emotional and a great help for me figuring stuff out. I am in awe. Yay her.

There is nothing like coming out of the gym to find someone has 1) dumped a pineapple coconut smoothie (specialty of the gym cafe) down the (closed) driver's side window of your car, and then 2) keyed it along the driver's side.

I have a suspect - the person I parked next to, huge pickup truck, poor parking abilities - but they are now gone.

Thanks! I just felt this was a less serious place for such a declaration than some othet T threads .

Pretty sure what test you took. Did they by any chance also give you any other assessments? Specifically any that tested visual perception processing? Surprised that you weren't given any further recommendations.

What I'd do is have you do is use a service that provides audio associated with definitions. which has the audio for words, as well as the definition with them. Quizlet, an online flash card service, does have audio associated with its products. I use it all the time in my classroom.

As an aside, I'm going through training for a multi-sensory program designed to help with spelling, and it would have been perfect for you.

They said that I had good visual perception processing. I don't know what test would have counted for that. I did a total of 5 hours of testing. I hated the one where you had to say the words cuz a word is in the Elio dictionary or it isn't and if it isn't I can't say it. But if you were to say it, I'd probably know it. There were many on the last cards that I could not say. I'll reach out to you once I get the written results, those should have more details about the specific tests. Thanks for the suggestion. There are supposed to be more suggestions with the final report.

Elise, if we made you a doll of your therapist- would you treasure it or stick pins in it? And how much detail would you expect?

Ok, so I got preliminary test results yesterday from the neuropsych testing. And the results were not surprising. Mostly at above average on stuff with a specific and significant deficit in spelling and sound to letter. Not enough to meet criteria for anything recognizable. Which sucks because the purpose of the testing for me was to get a waiver on the minimum GRE scores in Verbal for a grad program in Bioinformatics and Biological Statistics.

Since I don't have any problems with memory, they suggest I just get the list of vocabulary words and start memorizing. The best way for me that I know of right now is through reading stuff preferably fictional stuff that uses these vocabulary words so I can grasp the concept of the word through context. So, for those of you that are in the know - is there anything like that for any level I'd say above probably a 5th grade vocabulary level? The higher the better but I know I have gaps that are at a much lower level and to be honest with the changes in academics, I have no clue as to what is now considered a 5th grade vocabulary level.

Oh and it would be great if these books had an audiobook format because I won't be able to sound out the words if they are not something that is pretty straight forward.

Example from my test...
exaggerate ... my spelling: exgurrate Yep I can recognize it when I read it and I know what it means and everything. Just don't ask me to spell it without help.

Hello.
First time hanging out in here. Just saying hi.

What to do first (yes, I still have yet to start cleaning). I still need to hang up laundry...that might be a good place to start. Then to tackle the bed.

Lady I rent from asked if I needed help. I kind of do, but I don't want her going through some of my stuff.

I just love how this nonsense word took off. People use it as a noun, a verb, an adjective. It cracks me up! It means ANYTHING!!

I didn't answer this question before, but how about both... this is not an 100% either or state but a continuum of existence... most the time I'd treasure. Then well there are those times where I just don't get what I want *little kid pout* There isn't a tantrum gif/emoji??

I initially thought it was a Jamaican coffee.
