Tommy Update

Today we had our first interview and pre-screening with Early Childhood Intervention. This is the first of 3 that we will have, and after the third one, we will either begin therapy, or they will decide that Tommy doesn't need it. It went pretty well, except the interviewer does a lot of things with toys to see where Tommy is with various stages of his development. Anna wanted to play with the toys and interfered several times with the interview. I finally had to take her out and threaten her before we could continue. Tommy has an ENT appointment on Oct. 3, and they will take a look at his ears and determine what to do from there. On Oct. 5, we have our first meeting with a speech therapist, who will do a complete social and hearing evaluation on Tommy and see if he's a candidate for speech therapy, or any other kind of therapy.
