Gwen's ST brought to my attention that she felt Gwen may be suffering from SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder) which could be affecting her communication as well. Gwen tends to hang on EVERYTHING and climb on EVERYTHING. She also will climb or hang when she's upset. She also likes to jump ALL THE TIME. We've suspected SPD in the past, but just adjusted to her needs (built her a hanging bar, bought her an indoor and outdoor trampoline, frequent trips to the park, etc) but the ST feels she may need OT to try and manage the issue better.
I e-mailed our Service Coordinator yesterday and she set up an evaluation with an OT on 10/24 @ 1:00 PM to see if we can get an actual diagnosis and then we'll move forward with therapy if we do.
Gwen is now saying "Bubble" more often and for both Bubble Guppies and Bubbles in general, however we've lost "Daddy" and "Kitty" and most of the "D" sounds. She's still very 'talkative' in her own language and extremely bright, continuing to amaze me & her ST every day.
Will let you guys know how things go.
