Ethan speech update

Yesterday was Ethan's speech evaluation. There were 1/2 dozen teachers/specialists, etc looking over him, testing him. He did very well. He past his eye and ear exam, played very well, listened very well and performed all of the tests these ladies asked of him. They were quite impressed at how well he sat there and listened, and focused! Good and bad news. Good news, he qualifies for free speech therapy through the school district. Bad news, he has to get speech therapy :-) They said he is very intelligent, he just cannot articulate. He will go twice a week. Once will be with a parent for 40 mins and the other session will be a drop off for 1.5 hrs and he will be in a class with about 8 other kids with the same issues. I am very excited to finally get some answers, but more importantly, someone who is willing to help him. He will probably start the first week of December, because it will take them that long to get all the information in the system, get him registered in the school district and then there is Thanksgiving holiday. The great thing is that we updated his preschool teacher and she is so awesome! She has asked us to get a copy of the letters he needs help with and she will do her part to help as well .... not necessarily something she has to do, but she loves Ethan so much and she wants to see him excel. Better yet, they all think he will have no problem continuing onto Kindergarten as he is supposed to! I will update regularly on his progress.
