I know I get a number of visitors who are interested in speech delays, specifically phonological process disorders or initial consonant deletion. I wanted to take a moment to give an update on Z, C’s little brother. Z graduated from private speech therapy back in March, but continued on through Early Intervention receiving services [...]

Wow, it’s been a year of blogging already. Today is my one year blogiversary! Looking back, I see that I managed to post a lot more frequently in the beginning. I think I had a lot pent up that I wanted to get out, plus didn’t know yet about some of the great gifted communities already [...] Well, we’re coming up on our six month anniversary of Z starting speech therapy. Time sure does fly! Little Z is now 30 months old and talking up a storm. He had a tremendous spurt in language in the past month and will be graduating from private speech therapy next week! He’s now officially average, which [...] A few weeks ago the New York Times posted an article about the inaccuracy of preschool IQ tests, in particular in relation to competitive kindergarten admissions in New York. Recently they posted an article about a number of states (including Pennsylvania) that will soon offer testing allowing students to graduate from high school up to two [...] A lot can happen in a week. First, I got invited to an interview at my first choice graduate school. I’m very excited and also terribly nervous. I have a bit less than two weeks to prep for the interview. I’m not even sure exactly what prepping I should do, but have already started to pick [...] Perhaps not surprisingly, it’s been a bit hectic lately between Z’s speech therapy and C’s occupational therapy. The good news is that both seem to be going well. Z is coming up to his two month mark with Early Intervention and has been going to private therapy for four months now to work on his phonological [...] Since my last update, Z has now had two sessions with Early Intervention. It would have been three, but the speech pathologist needed to reschedule our session today, which actually was pretty poor timing since this was the first week that I dropped Z’s second session of private therapy. My thought was that he should hopefully [...] Before Thanksgiving early intervention came out to reevaluate Z’s speech. Despite our report from CHOP that clearly stated his articulation issues are not developmental, EI still resisted qualifying him for speech under their guidelines. They were, however, concerned about his drooling and low muscle tone and said they could qualify him for services due to those [...] This new school year has been an adjustment for C. It’s a new school, with a school day twice as long, full of new people and new routines. While he had few social or behavioral problems last year in kindergarten, this year has been different. The guidance counselor offered to add C to her social skills [...] Ok, so it’s been 4 months since I started “studying” for the GRE. I put studying in quotes, because I’ve spent far more time avoiding studying than actually studying. Plus the things I read 4 months ago when I started aren’t exactly fresh in my mind anymore. I need to buckle down and spend the rest [...] |
