Speech?

We had our speech evaluation last week for Zach. I'd been tossing the idea around for awhile about calling but kept thinking that he'd catch up and maybe having fluid on his ears for the first 7 months of his life was still affecting him and his speech. So, I finally made the appointment and we met on Thursday and Friday. The therapist on Thursday said she wasn't sure if he'd qualify as he has been saying 50-75 words and that is in the average range (low-average) for a two year old. Since it takes two therapists to refer a child for an intervention program, the developmental therapist was here too. She was certain he wouldn't qualify for DT services but was going to meet with the speech therapist to come to the final conclusion. We got the phone call today that Zach in fact did not qualify in either category, so we are waiting for the mail to come with a list of suggestions to get him motivated to talk and talk clearly! They did both suggest a re-eval in June so I have it marked on the calendar! Until then...we will see what comes out of his mouth! We might wish he had never opened it!!!
