Update on Caleb's evaluation
Well the school said Caleb only qualified for the 1/2 hour 1 time a week. Said he scored in normal range for language. He has no spontaneous language though and he only uses one word at a time when speaking. No sign of apraxia eventhough he has been working with 2 different therapist who both definitely think he has it. How can the school say that when apraxia cant be diagnosed until several months of interaction with him? By the way the week he went to be evaluated he was having a good week not overgeneralizing sounds or using much of "mmm" and not strugging finding sounds and the week after he reverted back to all "mmm" again and couldnt seem to find any correct sounds. Anyway, Scott and I dont believe the 1/2 hour a week will help enough to make it worth me taking him. We hated that program with Bekah bc her therapist only worked with her 15 min of the time with another girl and only did K and G the entire year until we quit bc she was doing so much better without their help. Maybe St Francis can get him into 2 days a week and we can drop out of school program. He definitely talks so much more the more therapy he has, but looses so much when a long break. So Id like him somewhere 2 days a week that is beneficial! I do understand that they simply went by the "test" which obviously didnt show his true struggles. I know God has a reason and we just arent supposed to be in the weekly class setting for a reason. But I just wanted to stand up and defend my son when they said, oh he doesnt talk much bc he has 3 sisters who do it all for him." If they were with him long enough they would see that the little guy wants to talk so badly but cant for some reason!! He tries so hard with his therapist and uses his eyes and "mmm" to tell stories. Breaks my heart! But he is the most joyful little guy you'll ever meet.
