Educational Therapy

Lauren started educational therapy on Thursday. The therapist is really nice and was actually involved in Lauren's initial evaluation to get her started with therapies through the county. She basically just got to know Lauren during the visit and asked me some questions. She really evaluated her. She asked her to perform simple tasks, say some words, color, find Kristen if she was hiding. She wants me to start a word diary for Lauren. One list is all of the things Lauren is saying, which she is attempting to say everything you say, especially if you ask her to. Then she wants me to start another list of words Lauren says by herself without being prompted. She said once Lauren has about 35-50 words banked (words she says without being prompted) she should then be able to start putting words together like Mommy cup. Overall it was a very good appointment. The therapist did say if Lauren continues to do so well she doesn't see herself being out here very long. She has definitely made great progress!
