#30facesofautism 2019 - Day 28


Day 28 – I’ve talked a lot about the village it takes to help Baby Girl be her best self. She currently has three outstanding therapists who have been working with her for the past couple years.  The amount of growth has been amazing and so much of it can be directly contributed to the hard work and dedication of these three ladies. She works with the Speech/Language Pathologist for Language Therapy twice a week in a small group setting and they work on conversation, vocabulary, appropriate questioning, etc. Her Occupational Therapist sees her twice a week as well, in individual or small group and can provide support in her classroom, they focus mostly on these days on writing letters and numbers with the appropriate spacing.  Her Physical Therapist has been working on core body strength and coordinating extremities so that she can safely move up and down the stairs and throughout the school building, they meet once a week.  I cannot say enough about how important seeking out the help of professionals is for the development of children with delays – IT IS CRITICAL!  These therapies along with caring teachers have made all the difference for Baby Girl. #30facesofautism
