Mind Changing Solutions

Here is K again. He is singing a song that speech therapist, Marcella made up while playing with a puzzle. Each time he put a puzzle piece in, he and Marcella sang and clapped "It fits, it fits, it fits!"

Note to parents: you can make a song out of anything that you repeat often. It helps elicit verbal responses from your little ones.

Meet K! K will be 3 in December. He came to us a little over a year ago. His mother was concerned that he wasn't talking, he had difficulty attending to activities and sitting still. He would mostly scream, yell or cry when he wanted something. Through the work at Mind Changing Solutions with our Speech Therapist, Marcella, he has begun to use more words. He now runs TO Marcella instead of away from her when it's time for therapy. He can sit and participate in the activities that are planned. He sings along to songs and interacts with peers his age.

This is just a reminder that sometimes progress takes time. It may not always seem like progress is being made (many times mom wondered), but when you stick with it you can see the fruits of your labor. Keep growing and showing out K! We are proud of you!
