Laurel,

I had my hopes up with my daughter to be done with speech this year after my

experience with my son but the teacher told me today that wouldn't be the

case. But she has made some progress and so that is the main thing. Now I

know to keep the days open next year when I am planning activities like

preschool and what not.

The main think is to keep in mind that they are relearning how to talk and

they didn't learn to talk over night and so it will take a while for them to

relearn the new way to talk. I have a hard time keeping that in mind

sometimes since my son breezed through speech and almost overnight had

changes in his speech. But each child is differnt and he didn't have the

health issues our daughter has had to deal with.

I have also found that each child works at their own pace and will get to

the goals at the end if they are supported and given the tools they need for

sucess.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

SPRING IS HERE!
