Yesterday Naomee received her first visit from the physical therapist. She said there is nothing physically holding her back and gave Britnee lots of things to work on. She suggested some tips on teaching her sign language words one at a time, pushing her to try backing down the stairs, playing with things that she wants to play with and saying the word for the object over and over and over again as you play.
She will be visited by two other therapists in the next week. Each of them will come to our house monthly to train us, work with her and make evaluations on her progress.
We are grateful for the instruction and excited to see her progress. Her initial testing results said she was about 15 months behind in movement and speech. I have already noticed a difference in her willingness to try new actions/movements, signs and speech.
