In November Patrick and I had Collin's speech evaluated at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. As a former teacher, I had a gut feeling that he should be saying more words than he was and knew that early intervention was the key. The evaluation stated that he was significantly delayed due to his lack of being able to hear out of one ear before his tubes were put in. After about a month of waiting to hear from the insurance company, we decided to go ahead and enroll him in therpy. He has had two visits with one of the best speech therapists ever, Ms. Lorissa, and has shown so much progress. Below are a list of words Collin is now consistantly saying.
mama
dada
nana
papa
more-along with the sign
moo
neigh
quack
bow wow (Daddy taught this one)
ball
boom
zoom
He is also attempting to say please but does have the sign down for it. We cannot be more thrilled and thank the Lord that our prayers have been answered and he is now communicating! In two thirty minute sessions he has made this much progress. We just had to brag!
