New Teacher of the Deaf

Today Nathan started therapy with a new teacher of the deaf from St. Joseph's Institute of the Deaf. Our original therapist that has been working with Nathan since he's been about 5 months old was a bit discouraged with his progress and started to go down a path that no one else agreed with - we'll leave it at that. Anyway, after much discussion with SJID it was decided that a new therapist would be a better fit at this time, so that's what we did. Today, we had our first session with Barb and it could not have gone better!! We look forward to our relationship to grow with Barb and for Nathan to keep progressing with speech and language. Nathan will also undergo a language assessment by a Speech Pathologist in June to help get us some clarification where he stands and how we should proceed forward. We continue to work on our sounds and words and hope for the best!!
