The therapies started

Andrew had his day with the Infant Development Specialist (ID) today. He did really well with her. She is working with him thru play therapy and cause and effect. We are also starting to introduce sign language to him. Today we introduced “no” “ball” “more” and “all done”. She showed me how to do them with him. She did suggest that we get his hearing evaluated. He tends to put his head on the toy that is playing music and she said that could explain why he growls. She said it could be his way of hearing himself. Also when he pounds toys he will put his cheek on the toy/object to feel the vibrations. So I called his pediatrician and our coordinator at Alta to see who will do the evaluation.


The Physical Therapist (PT) called today and we are scheduled for Fridays starting next week. This Friday we have the evaluation with the Occupational Therapist (OT).


No news on the blood test for the Coffin-Lowry Syndrome (CLS). Still waiting.
