Set backs, Bifocals,& ABA

A lot has been happening in Taylor's corner - So much so that this mommy has been taken over once again by therapies.

Lets start with Set Back's - Taylor out of no where started stuttering extremely bad. About every two phrases she starts by stuttering. This means all of her goals and work in speech has to take a back seat as we focus on this new problem, as to hope to correct it before she is older. As her mother I should have seen this coming, she was doing so well, her brain was bound to need a catch up period at some point... Its a learning process for us, I am very thankful that we have Nick home for now to help with this set back.

Taylor recently got her new glasses - Bifocals :) She is adorable with them on! She is doing amazing with them, her next appointment is in January and we will see if they are actually working or not.


ABA - we recently took on another two therapies one is social group which is a half hour of social interaction facilitated by Taylor's speech therapist. She is doing amazing and has really made a good friend in the little boy that she plays with! I have also made a new friend who knows just how crazy this life is. Taylor also started with this same little boy peer ABA therapy - ( autism behavioral analysis) she is having a blast playing with her friend and does not even realize that she is in therapy!

This is it for now - Thank you all for being patient as I update the blog :)
