Rhys, who started speech therapy with 3 consonants and one vowel ("uh"), is now using a lot of different consonants and, in the past couple of weeks, 2 vowels! It has been near murder to get a vowel other than "uh" from him in the past. We are now hearing him say the long e (especially when he requests Teeeee for TV) and long i (like when he melts my heart with "hi").
We just started him in Developmental Services, as well, which looks at overall development. We will be focusing primarily on receptive language (identifying things we label, following directions) and age appropriate play (such as feeding a baby doll, rolling a ball back and forth, pretend cooking).
We are grateful for the services being offered to him and feel pleased that we are slowly closing some of the gaps in his skills. Rhys is such a delightful little guy. We are glad to help him catch up in his early years.

It's very humbling for me when I think about what services would be available to kids like Rhys and Kimmy if they'd been born in another time or place. I'm glad to hear Rhys is making progress!
