New stuff...

So today we go see a new speech therapist (we have the old one still once a week) The new one will be seeing what type of alternative communication he can use. Speech isn't coming anytime soon (well, it may veeerrryyy slowly) and they insist giving him something he can use that will talk for him will let him communicate with those who don't use sign. Not sure i buy it entirely. The low tech systems will only help with adults, and the high tech things are a stretch at this point. He needs to understand sequence (if i push this icon, this page will come up, then i can choose another icon) and have the dexterity to push small icons on a screen. We've tried with our Nook color and he's not there yet, for sure. Really hoping this isn't a waste, because our other speech therapist has more than she can do in 2 hours, let alone one.

Now the poor kid has 4 therapies at different times throughout the week. 9:45, 11:45, 1:00 and 2:00. Where's the nap consistency? Yeah, that's what i thought too.
