A Speech Evaluation. Finally

So we had the meeting about Andrew's speech this morning. The results were about what we guessed they would be. He has significant issues with several sounds and has compressed the sounds of several different letters into a "th" type of sound. He also continues to have issues with his "l" sounds and "r" sounds. They are going to start with the "th" issue and the "l" issue. "R" issues are completely age appropriate at this point and won't be addressed until probably next year at the earliest. The speech pathologist lady will start working with him next week. He will go two times a week for a half an hour each for three weeks and then he will have one week off. We are all very confident that he is going to do great and no one seems to be concerned about him missing that much class. My little man is smart as can be and will just pick everything up a bit later. Anyway, it will be very nice to have him start this therapy. The people in the room were funny. I think that they must worry about offending the parents with talk of special ed, that is what speech therapy qualifies as, because they kept asking if we were ok with all of it. Eric and I are fine with it. In fact we kinda pushed the issue until it happened. Anyway, I will hopefully have some great progress reports about his speech progression for you all in the near future. My baby will be articulate and easily understood soon!
