Ok so I lied, I’m bad at updating a blog. I mean to do it regularly and I don’t so sporadic blog posts will be the norm. What can I say? I’m a busy mom and as therapeutic as writing is it takes a back seat to everything else.
So when last we spoke I was about to take Buttons to another speech assessment. The outcome was 50/50 the good news is her speech has progressed amazingly, the SLP was amazed by how far she had come in 4 months. The bad news, although her speech is progressing, she is using more words and is speaking clearer the SLP thinks that she may have an auditory processing problem, that she hears the words is and able to say words but has a hard time figuring out when people are talking and what they are saying especially if there is a lot of background noise. She wants to see her again in April and in the mean time I’m using a lot of signed exact English with her to reinforce that I’m speaking to her and to make sure she is understanding what is being said.
Buttons still does not have a date for her ASD assessment, last I heard they were hoping for September, over a year from when we first asked for services. She is still wait listed for OT so we are working at home with her to meet her sensory needs and try and regulate her system as best we can. She is also wait listed for supported child development so she can have a one on one for at least a couple hours a day in daycare but that is less of an issue since papa bear has been laid off and home full time since December.
So there you go not much to update, just still sitting on wait lists with no end in sight *sigh*
