Yummy red velvet cake with cream cheese icing, tea, chatting.  Just what you’d expect during a family training meeting with all our therapists, right?!

Seriously, we have the most phenomenal therapists EVER!

Each therapist discussed their strategy and goals for Josephine.  There was a lot of back and forth talk about incorporating all therapies during each session (i.e. mixing a bit of PT during speech and mixing a bit of DI with OT, etc..).

Everyone was on the same page and had one goal in mind:  giving Josephine the best opportunity to grow to her full potential!

When pressed for specifics, the therapists offered a range for Josephine’s developmental age.

PT:  5-6 months     OT: 7-13 months     DI:  8-13 months     ST:  8-12 months

Much clearer now, right?

The main point made extremely clear to Sheldon and I is “STOP WORRYING ABOUT DEVELOPMENTAL AGE”.  Focus on Josephine’s progress and celebrate those moments as they come.  Nothing more.

That I can do!
