Lille Silvia
Since the very beginning, I've always felt that Silvia was "different": I was regularly meeting mothers with babies as old as Silvia (mødregruppe, or something like that) and as a consequence I was regularly thinking that Silvia was not developing like the other babies. I actually spent a fortune on very expensive baby toys. The result was that our house became a sort of "wonderland" for all the other kids, except Silvia, who couldn't care less and kept putting in her mouth and sucking the same old "rangle" (25 kroner worth, max.).

Silvia set fra sidelinjen
Jeg har været så heldig at følge med i Silvias forløb fra sidelinjen, fordi hun bor her i Århus, og vores familier har mødtes med jævne mellemrum. Silvia var ikke ret gammel, da jeg så hende første gang, vist kun 18 eller 19 måneder. Det er underligt at tænke tilbage på, for hun var virkelig et helt andet barn dengang. Hun kunne ikke gå, havde meget få lyde, og hun var meget fjern, vendte kun i meget begrænset omfang opmærksomheden udad.

Silvia kan matche
Silvia started with the training in June, right before her 2nd birthday. After a couple of months we started up with matching. I would never have guessed that she could manage.

Vi har fundet en daginstitution!
We found it! We have found an institution which will accept Silvia and the ABA project! It hasn't been easy: It took almost three months and we had to go through 13 (I mean 13!) institutions, but eventually we succeded and in fact we got the institution we were hoping for. So now we will have to hire the støttepædagog and then we can start with a self-financed and self-organized institution-based project! In essence, we are now marching towards bankruptcy and, funnily enough, we are happy about it ...
