Speech Therapy Update
Just wanted to let everyone know that Jack will now get speech therapy, courtesy of the state, once a week. This is GREAT news for us.
While Jack tests at 4 months ahead on receptive language (i.e., what he understands), he is very behind on expressive language (speaking). At age two, he has only 4 words - mama, bye, blue, and woof.
So the news that the state approved his speech therapy was music to our ears. I'm anxious to see what the speech therapist will do to get him to speak.

hello. i found your blog while searching for "hearing loss" a few months ago. i've been reading it since then, wondering if your son was diagnosed with a mild hearing loss. my son was diagnosed at birth and he is now 8 months old. was wondering if that is the reason for his speech delay. allisonmcgann@hotmail.com
my son did speech therapy, and it worked great. He only had to have like 5 sessions and we started seeing progress. Turned out he just needed a "boost". anyway, it was interesting watching the sp.pathologist, she would basically play little games with him, helping him to say farm animal names and things like that. My son just thought it was one big play session!
Great news! I hope it goes well.
Great news! Let us know how it goes. I know that is a big relief to you.
Great! I'm sure he'll be chattering away in no time.
CitySlicker Mom - thanks for the encouragement. Jack's so smart, so I think he just needs a little "boost" too, like your son. He really liked the speech pathologist during the evaluation, so I think the therapy will go well.
To everyone else - thanks for the encouragement.
