We enjoyed speech therapy. She was nervous at first, but she
finally warmed about half way in. She enjoyed the testing. She is missing some
sounds. She is a problem eater, not a picky eater. Since insurance will not
pay, and her speech is not too far behind, we are going to go once a week and
work on a few problems. She will give me some ideas for home so the whole
family can work with her. She is also going to help when she sees negative
behaviors by reinforcing positive ones. I feel really good about this.
I am also going to make her a picture schedule to help her
not have so much anxiety about what we are always doing each day. Speech
therapist was the second person to recommend this.
A little funny: Monkey was being asked her body parts by the speech therapist: "Where is your forehead?" Monkey pointed to her neck, then looked at the speech therapist and exclaimed: "I only have one head!"
