SPEECH therapy, speech therapy, and more speech therapy!

Jhanson (4 years old) had his lip repair 2010;vpalate repairJuly 2011 - both by Dr Williams; speech therapy July 2012 and March 2013! He returned for his second round of intensive speech therapy for 4 days a week/2 times per day/for 2 weeks! He did great and his parents and family practiced with him and sat in on every session! He was VERY quiet last year; this year his language improved and he was really ready to participate in speech therapy. All of our targets from last July resulted in good improvement and he did great this year with new sounds!  We are looking forward to working with him again in  2014!

 

 

It was always a challenge to come up with new ways to use the materials, games, cards, books and toys we brought for the mission!  The children LOVED the group games and opportunities, but also the one-to-one time with the speech therapists!  Any thing we presented- they loved it- but we found after 2 weeks, Linda and Theresa needed a change of activities!  When Cynthia, our speech therapist arrived from Boise for week 2, she brought with her some new games and activities (and fresh ideas) and it was just what THERESA and LINDA needed!!
