An optimistic day

Nathan and Reagan just had another evaluation by the state Early Intervention program. They were doing Speech Thearpy in Luzerne County but we had to restart the whole thing out here on the other side of the state. This time they brought two more evaluators and Nate ended up qualifying for Occupational and Developmental Therapy as well as Speech. This means that we will be doing a total of 4 hrs of therapy a week between the two of them. It is good though, they really need all the help that we can give them. The evaluators made me feel better too because they said that some kids are wired to develop along a regular path and others like mine are wired not to. She said that it is nothing that I did or didn't do as a mother and the proof is that she sees kids in very less than ideal parenting situations who are still following the regular developmental path. She made me feel better about questioning my ability as a mother an she also said that almost every child makes great progress once they are in therapy for about 3 months. So today was a very optimistic day.
