Grace was evaluated yesterday afternoon and she did fabulous. It was actually pretty fun to watch them work with her. She did almost everything they asked of her and in a very willing manner. I was so afraid that she wouldn't be herself. She passed nearly every part of the evaluation, but struggled with articulation and communication.
She actually surprised us a few times doing things we had no clue she could do... like cut with scissors. (Why on earth would I let my 2 1/2 year old use scissors... on the box they say 4+!)
They asked us every question under the sun from her nutrition to different abilities she exhibits.
All that said, they did recommend that she have a hearing test (just to make sure all those ear infections she had didn't leave fluid that is making things sound different) and therapy twice a month. They seemed very optimistic that the therapy will help her out a great deal.
To be honest, I'm pretty excited. After seeing her perform yesterday, I'm excited to see what else she can do that I don't know about.
Thanks again to everyone for the sweet words and encouragement. I know Grace is going to be speaking well in no time!
