More Words

We can add spider, shower, dinner, down, icky (bickie) , ecky (brecky) and all gone to our vocab. Will doesnt have speech for a month as our ST is on holidays, so we have some homework to do. For some reason he deletes the on set and says the rime. So we have activities for him to do that will encourage him to develop the skills for the onset.
It is great to see him voluntarily use the sign language and the fact that he uses them in situations not just with me. He will use them with family and at care which is great and it enables them to communicate positively with him.
Will is a bit grumpy at the moment, bit of a sick bear, I am certain he is getting the last two molars. And so am I, not happy considering it is the school holidays:(
I am so happy with Will's progress since we have started therapy and having seen how much he has come along. It certainly has made a change in him, dont know about the biting, I think it could be linked more to his low muscle tone and need for development rather than a communication frustration link. We will see, but all is going well at the moment:)
