Speech Therapy

As most of you know, Emma started speech therapy when she was pretty young. She was I think about 20 months old or so. She did really well working with her therapist but a couple of months before we moved we had to pull her out because of some scheduling issues.(theirs not ours) We decided to wait until we moved to get her into another program, especially since we would be moving into another county and wasn't sure what services were available. We finally found a private company that would come to our house. Katie, her therapist, came this morning to do Emma's evaluation to determine if she needed it. I won't get the exact numbers until Monday but she said that she doesn't think Emma needs it. She said according to the answers that Emma was giving her, she believes that Emma is back to where she should be for her age. Emma has certain words that she doesn't pronouce well and some that don't make sense....but what kid her age doesn't? I kind of had a feeling to begin with that she might not qualify but that is a good thing. It means that she is just an average (almost) 3 year old now. We will still have to wait and see what her exact numbers are though. Her vocabulary has really taken off the past couple of months and I can tell that she is really starting to learn so many things. I'm so excited to see her continue to thrive.
