Just wanted to share this somewhere where people will understand how exciting this for me. My son who is 21 months and has CP which is worse on one side, just started clapping this week! He did it at day care on Tuesday and the teachers told us, which I really appreciated. Since then he has done it at home several times when we say "DS, can you clap?" or when we are clapping for him. It is a funny-looking asymmetrical clap but it's definitely a clap, and he has a big smile when he does it. I had been in kind of a low place recently in worrying about his prognosis so it's very nice to have a positive thing to celebrate.
