Speech Therapy

The kids are now in speech therapy twice a week. Their therapist, Janet, is amazing. If you have never heard of "First Steps" or "Early Intervention", I suggest you look them up. It's an awesome program that helps children up to the age of 3. It is funded by state & federal funds. And one of the best parts....they come to YOUR home. This is really nice for me because it isn't easy to get 3 two year olds ready, out the door & on time by myself.

Isabel had First Steps when she was a baby. She has high muscle tone & had difficulty rolling over, crawling & walking. You wouldn't know that, now. Jonah will now be getting Occupational Therapy. He was diagnosed as having Sensory Integration Disorder. I will post more about that. So needless to say, we have lots of therapy going on around here.

I took some pictures of Janet & the kids yesterday. They had bubble time & the kids loved it.

"Belly Bubbles" Janet would blow the bubbles & the kids were supposed to pop
them with their belly's.

This was a great thing to post about. It makes me sad that so many people don't take advantage of such a great service. I'm glad your kids are enjoying it. Mine always loved it too.
