Speech Delays

husband and i recently had henry's delays evaluated by an outside source that had never met henry before the testing. we wanted to make sure that henry's current therapists are correct in their diagnosis of his developmental issues. we wanted a second opinion.

happily, it was determined that he is only delayed in the area of speech. henry had other delays when he first came to live with us, so this is a wonderful improvement. no matter what happens in the future, whether henry stays with us forever or goes to live somewhere else, we can be glad to know that we helped put his development on track and gave him a better chance at success in the future.

now husband and i are focusing on ways to improve his speech. i know about 4 or 5 families who have children with speech delays or a family member who works in that field, so i've been exploring our options and working toward creating a plan for getting henry more help in overcoming his issues. he is making progress right now, but i just want to make sure that we're doing everything that we can.
