The evaluation at Birth to Three went pretty well. Little Bug seemed to be more attached/in tune with these thereapists than the ones from Mary Bridge. He was more willing to contribute to activities and play along with their tests.
The therapists seemed really impressed with how much he was signing- they said that for a child to learn 20 signs in a month is tremendous and speaks well for his ability to learn.
We won't know the outcome of the cognitive evaluation for a while and I am okay with that. I honestly think that he has a lot more potential and knowledge in that little noggin than we are aware of. We just have to figure how to get it out.
On the upside, we found out that he will be doing Play Therapy- with a peer group, Education- at home and center, Speech Therapy, and Occupational Therapy. The play therapy will be three times a week for an hour and half, Education twice a week for at least an hour, and Speech and OT will each be one time a week. He should be starting his Play and Education therapy by the end of the month! YAY PROGRESS! There is a waiting list for both Speech and OT- longer for Speech than OT. Once a therapist comes available, we will get a call and have a meeting to create another schedule. Although, I expected to be upset by the waiting lists, I have to say that it feels like we are taking a step forward.
Here's wishing him luck and encouragement- we know that he can do it.
