Speech Therapy

Carson has a new therapist and she is wonderful!! He loves her and she is incredible with him!! He goes to her once a week for 45 mins. He loves the therapy swing. She uses this to calm him and to get him to focus and be more attentive. It works great and is very soothing to him. This picture is from his session last week...

 

April 2013 Update

Carson has been doing great and has adjusted well to the changes at school. He has a new speech therapist that is wonderful. She is so good with him and he loves her. I am so happy to see this because the last one he had just didn't mesh well with him at all. He is making so many sounds and he is saying a few words but we aren't sure if they are actual functional words or just sounds. He says Baby a lot and Mama and it sounds like he has been trying to say Thank You. We went on Vacation during his spring break from school and he did so well out of his familiar surroundings and routine. We had a few rough moments but overall he did great! He is starting to interact with us more and he has been so affectionate and loves to give big bear hugs. He smiles so much and giggles all of the time. He is a happy little boy and that is so great to see because there was a time when he was so frustrated and upset all of the time. He is making huge improvements all of the time and while he still has many struggles he is getting there one day at a time...
