We met with the school. They agreed she qualifies for
testing. She will begin with that in August when the nurses return to start testing
her vision and hearing. Then other tests will follow.
She had her second speech therapy appointment. The speech
therapist performed another test on her and then started working with her
problem eating. My little monkey got highly upset and cried, ran around the
room, tried to leave, would not look at the food, rocked, sucked her fingers, and
screamed. Just looking at food, she hates, freaks her out. She was told to
state she would not care for that instead of I hate that. Last night, we put
broccoli on the table just for her to see. She looked at it a few times, but
did not freak out. At one point, I asked her if she wanted to try a bite, she
avoided my eyes, and stated, “I do not care for that.” Much nicer dinner! As
much as I hated to see her upset, I already see progress.
