Lately our life is all about speech therapy....but it isn't just about speech. The goals of the sessions encompass listening, thinking, and social aspects in addition to speech. Cognition demonstrated by Peter on Tuesday for his therapist at the school when he saw a Little People pay house. He rang the pink doorbell, and there was a noise. She opened the house, and Peter immediately found all the pink objects and pushed them to make noises.
Cognition and audition were demonstrated tonight.....Tonight I was in Peter's room getting Peter clothes for tomorrow and he looked around, saw a picture we hadn't really talked much about, and signed WOLF. Yes! It was a picture of a wolf, five of them! Cool, but that just shows he is observant, and know what a wolf looks like (the app called SoundTouch has several wolf pictures we look at). But the cool thing? I was in our bedroom with my husband and Peter, telling Chris about Peter signing WOLF downstairs. Peter looked up, signed WOLF, and then bent his head around to point out the picture of a wolf in our bedroom! He understood at least some of what we said, and made the connection between all the different wolves! I am very proud of my little guy :)
Love this! And that you are documenting it. I regret that I didn't keep better track especially in the beginning of M's journey.
