Speech

Kynlie and I just got back from Dickinson for her first speech therapy appointment. The therapist said that she would like to see Kynlie once a week, she acually would like to see her more often, but since we have to drive so far, she would try to do a longer session once weekly.

She did some testing on what Kynlie understands and what she expresses. Kynlie's receptive language is great, she is actually at a 2 1/2 year old level for that. Her expressive language is not that good. She tries to use words to say what she wants but her words are all the same so she gets frustrated and grunts and points until she gets what she wants.

I am very excited to get started working on Kynlie's speech with a professional. I think it will make all of our lives easier when she can use the right words to tell us what she wants.
