Today, David and I toured the Childhood League Center with Jaden. It was really a wonderful facility. We got to see where Jaden's classroom will be, the gym, the Occupational Therapy room, and we also got to meet her teacher, Ms. Renee.
Praise God, that a spot opened up on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. At first, they offered us a Wednesday/Thursday morning slot, but if anyone knows our family - well, let's just say that afternoons are better for us! :-) The classroom will have a maximum of 8 students and when we were observing, there were 5 adults in the class, providing various forms of play & play therapy: physical, speech, and occupational.
This program is such an answer to pray for us, for Jaden! She lit up when we were in the classroom, playing & exploring. I have no doubt that she will excel in this peer-group setting and I am super-excited to see how more intensive therapy is going to affect her development, especially in language!

That sounds like an awesome place for Jaden! We just had Sadie screened for speech. She's going in for another screening next week sometime...

Thanks for all of your support and prayers!
ReplyDeleteSharleen - What was the result of her first screening? Do they have any specific concerns?
This seems similar to the place that Ryan is going, although his program is one day a week. We're working on getting him extra speech therapy a week, it will be through a private facility though.
ReplyDeleteHoping she thrives there!
