Kaelyn was evaluated today for PT and OT through a private provider since we have not been happy with Early Childhood Intervention. I was SO pleased with these new therapists! The speech therapist was able to join us at the end, and they have Kaelyn set up for PT, OT, and ST twice a week starting next week! Through ECI we were getting OT once a week (that I had to fight for) and they dropped PT and wouldn't send the ST back out like I asked! The OT came 15 min. late every week, played with Kaelyn or let her play with her hair for about 15 min, wrote her note, and left. Didn't provide us with anything we could be doing, no handouts, nothing. The therapists today felt like it will not be long and they will have her crawling and walking. They said she needs to build up her back and stomach muscles, she is putting all her weight in her legs. They already gave us some things we can do with her to work on this!
And the beauty of it, Kaelyn wasn't shy at all with them, even tho it was a new environment and new people. She sat right in the floor with them, played, did all her spinning and scooting and jabbering, and wanted to hug the ST before we left. They got a big kick out of her. I think this is going to go so well!! ;D
