Connor's Speech Evaluation

Connor had his second speech evaluation this afternoon to determine whether or not he will qualify for speech through the school district. He met with the speech pathologist who will be working with him next year in the classroom.

I wasn't in the room when he was being tested, but I could hear Connor chatting away. He has no reservations being around people he doesn't know and she was cracking up at him. Apparently, he told her all about Star Wars...who Anakin Skywalker is, how he always had "a little bad in him," how he transformed into Darth Vadar, and that Luke Skywalker is his son. She thought it was great! :) Hey, whatever gets him talking so she could get an accurate evaluation.

We won't know the results until April 28, but she feels that he will qualify for the program. Yay! Saves us time and money not having to go through our medical, and as I have mentioned before, preschool will be free! The speech pathologist seems like a nice woman, so I am happy that she will be the one working with Connor next year. He seemed to like her, too! :)

She did ask if he has allergies because she also felt that could be contributing to the way he talks. He definitely does. The Flonase seems to be helping, but he did sound a little more stuffy today. Connor will be going back to the doctor next Tuesday so the pediatrician can re-check his hearing. The speech pathologist seems to agree with me that he probably doesn't have any hearing loss, but we do need to get his allergies and congestion under control.
