I'm so relieved to have finally heard good news from our family's coordinator in regards to Isaiah's speech therapy! We have found speech for him two days a week. One day a week in our home and another at a Pediatric Therapy Clinic. I anticipate nothing but good things and maybe some more clues to the puzzle. Even though 4 days or sessions a week is going to be a lot, it's so nice to have the resources that Isaiah needs. We have seen nothing but positive things from our two year old since he started the program and we are thrilled that he now has the help he needs from all angles! Plus, I can now go about my day with delightful new songs stuck in my head as a result of sitting in on his every therapy session....
"We are going for a ride....We are going for a ride....Sit down and buckle up...we're going for a ride!" (Oh Lordy....)
We will return to the hearing test center in June because during his test this week he had fluid in his ears, and the hearing tech could not complete one of the tests she needed. She did say that as of now she had no concerns, but this other test will need to be done. So it's back to Sertoma in June for that. We are headed to Illinois Masonic in April to have a clinical evaluation for Isaiah. On the team who will be evaluating or playing with Isaiah for all he knows or cares about will be: a Speech Therapist, OT, DT, Neurologist, a Specialized Pediatrician, and maybe a Psychiatrist. Wow! What a team! I'm glad to be ruling things out if nothing else, and hopefully they will just tell us that Isaiah's only challenge is his speech delay. In the meantime he is beginning to interact with his little brother more, and his imitation and pretending skills are improving.
