Colin's Speech Eval

So last week was Colin's speech eval, to determine if he needed therapy or not. It was decided that he is NOT in needed of therapy, which is great news! He has a mild to moderate delay, which is not surprising since Caden is now developmentally younger then Col, so Colin only knows what Caden has taught him. We know that he has the correct sounds in him, since he does baby babble and has a couple words, we just need to work them out of him. He does good repeating after you, we just have to work on spontanousness. He actually said MaMa last weekend all by himself! I can't tell you how great that was to FINALLY hear after 22 months! It was the Saturday before Mother's day too, so I couldn't have asked for a better gift! So to sum things up, Colin is developmentally right on track, his speech is at the 15-18 month level, which is where the mild/moderate delay comes in, but that is not bad at all, and pretty easy to make up. If he's not saying 3 word sentences in about 6 months, we'll get another eval, but in the mean time, we know what tools to use and will do our best to get little man on a roll!
