Update. . .

As you have read before, we are working with a program called Early On concerning Joshua's language delay. A coordinator from the program came and did an evaluation on him in December and found that he was delayed in language and a bit in gross motor skills. Today this same lady came back. She noticed that Joshua's language had improved a bit. He is actually verbally imitating people and will try to say something in order to get his needs met. He has about double the words in his small vocabulary than he did at the time of the evaluation a month ago. With this being said he still has a language delay. We also want to be proactive and get him help now because by the time he is two he should have a vocabulary of 200 words - he has four months so we need to get a move on it! So, today I officially signed him up to be part of the Early On program. Goals were set for Joshua in the area of language development as well as ideas given. We will be taking part in some playgroups that Early On offers and a specialist from Early On will be coming to visit Joshua and work with him twice a month for an hour each time. So glad we have this resource available to give our child the best start in life we can!
