For those of you with kids in speech therapy....do your kids ever have 'regressions?'
My DD was doing SO well for awhile, and her therapist said that she was probably going to graduate from the program after this school year. Now all of a sudden, we are both (her teacher and I ) having a very hard time understanding her again, and now the teacher may recommend another year of the program! I want what's best for her, but we were SO happy that she was going to be done!
Also - her teacher said that she has noticed some other concerning things lately...She has been really clumsy..tripping/falling a lot, and her hands are very shaky when she works on small motor skills. (???)
I took her to the doctor yesterday, and physically she's fine. The doctor suggested getting her eyes checked, and that maybe that could account for the shaking and falling (if she can't see well) ...but it still doesn't account for the speech regression.
Do any of you with 'special needs' children have any advice. Is there someone else that I should take her to for an evaluation?
TIA,
Michi
