Speech Therapy

Chandler, Miss Janet, and Brighton

Chandler has been going to speech therapy for about four months since the traditional school year started. This all came about as the result of testing that was done at his preschool when Chandler was three. After jumping through many, MANY hoops and red-tape we were finally able to get him classified as "speech delayed" and therefore qualified for free therapy through Wake County Schools.

Chandler has speech therapy at Sycamore Creek Elementary school on Tuesdays. I was able to pick a time that works with the boys' afternoon nap schedule, but unfortunately the timing of when we get to the school is right when school is letting out and the line of parents to pick up their children is super long. This means that mommy frequently drives the "wrong-way" into the school so that she can actually get into the parking lot. You think there could have been more thought put into the design of the parking lot so others wouldn't deal with this same problem, but I guess that costs too much money.

Anyways, while Chandler is getting therapy for 30 minutes, Brighton and I sit out in the hallway reading books, waving to other children, and flirting with the other therapists (Brighton flirting, not me!)

Well all the hard work has paid off and Chandler is ready to graduate from therapy. I'm so proud of how much Chandler's speech has improved. He can now say his "Y" sound and takes the time to pronounce all the syllables in each word. Way to go Chandler!
