had his Eval with the school district yesterday

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, Well will be 3 on the 18th of February and he just had his evaluation with the local school district and their PPCD *Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities* Program. He was evaluated by an OT and she said that as of right now, she doesn't think his SPD is bad enough that it will hinder is abilities in the classroom, but that she wouldn't make a final report until she has had a chance to observe him in a classroom setting. He did qualify for the program because of his speech delays as well as delays in some other areas. I'm not sure what all delays they suspected cause it was a lot of stuff comming in info wise. I am assuming we will go over all of it at the ARD meeting. His ST also told me about a home health program that I could use even while he's getting therapy at school. The company she works for is a home health company. They also accept Medicaide. The good news is that is current ST's boss used to be 's ST

before his new one took over. So her boss said that if the ST could fit him into her schedule that she could continue to see him even after he graduates ECI. I was really relieved to hear that because I think that both his ST and her boss are wonderful speech therapists. I just wish his current ST would get into his mouth more and do more oral motor excercises instead of just working on pronunciation and that sort of stuff. Anyway, just wanted to let you all know what has happened lately. Thanks for all the help along the way. Leighanne
