What we did do for her was to get her into speech therapy as early as possible. We continued evaluations. As her communication abilities became more developed,each of these evaluations led to a stronger identification of her strengths and weaknesses. We Stayed focused on her strengths and developed strategies to help with the weak areas. We got her involved with her peer group.
Children learn so much from each other.
Early intervention pays off further into their lives. I can't emphasize it enough. It made a difference for our daughter and we see the benefit today as she advocates for herself. We too felt like we needed to know why this lack of normal development. Were we doing everything we needed to do.
