Update and new evals

So the school messed us around and gave us summer school, a whole 2 weeks for speech and so I went back to Benaiah's dr and asked for outpatient services.  Benaiah is qualified for 2 sessions of ot and speech a week and one of pt.  He is doing good in gross motor and is only 10-15 mons delayed and the pt promised to work on falling so he will learn to not bounce his face off the ground.  He has gained some months in speech and is now 1 yr 9 mons in expressive and 2 yrs 3 months  in receptive.  He is still very delayed as he was 47 months old when tested.  He is saying more words now but not complete sentences.  He also will copy you and I hope sometime it will click.  Last week he was really into his signing times dvds and he sat and watched them for a long time.  Since then, I have seen more signs. His speech therapist though does not want him learning signs and I told her that he says words with his signs.  He actually picks up some new words.  She agrees though that he is locked in his body.  The orthopedic dr turned into a flop so we are being referred to Children's.  I will not waste time in Columbia any more nor will I recommend them to anyone. Tomorrow we head to the Zoo.
