Speech Therapy

Nina started speech therapy a couple of weeks ago. I think it will be a while before we see improvement, but that is to be expected. We are working on her making sounds like "s", "t", "d", "b", and "l". Sometimes she makes the sounds (although not as part of the word), but mostly she is just forming her mouth to try to make the sound. This is still progress. She goes to the therapist twice a week and right now it is still just play to her. But it is clear that she tries to make the sounds and I am confident she will "get it" one of these days. She is also learning some sign language and is doing great with that. She really picked that up quickly. It has helped us to communicate. She was in the tub the other night and said something that I didn't understand and she actually signed what she wanted (help with a toy). I thought that was great!
