Miss Chris

As usual I haven't updated the blog to reflect all the changes that have done on around here in the last month or so. And one of the changes is that Elizabeth has a new speech therapist...Miss Chris. As you can see from the photos that get along famously and Chris and we are lucky to have found her as she is the best specialist around, especially for children with hearing loss.

Elizabeth sees Chris twice a week and she is really helping her to catch up in the language department. As Chris explained, one the most important things we need to teach Elizabeth is "how to listen". When you have gone through your entire life without really hearing much around you, I suppose you just start to tune out most of the "noise" since it really doesn't make much sense.

Our main goal is to have Elizabeth at grade level in terms of language once she reaches kindergarten. I may be deluding myself (oh, yeah I have surprised myself recently with my ability to do that) but I think she will be fairly well caught up in a year or so. We shall see.
