We got the result today from Caleb's speech pathologist appointment. She tested him using a preschool language scale (PLS-4) and tested both his auditory comprehension and expressive communication ability. We knew he was doing great at the auditory comprehension - the part where he can hear and follow commands, etc. He needed to have an average score for these two parts with a 50% delay to qualify for this program. He did not have that bad of a delay and did not qualify for their program, which is good and bad. Great that the delay is not severe, bad because most others programs do not begin until 36 months.
He is 28 months old now, and understands/hears like a 27 month old. He speaks/communicates like a 20 month old. The next step is to seek further speech-articulation intervention/therapy. We are going to try the Clay County Speech therapy program next, hopefully next week. Then, when he is closer to 3, the school districts program. We'll keep you posted on his progress.
