In one of my most popular posts I shared about B’s delayed echolalia which she displayed when she asked me to pick her up (B would ask, “Carry you, mama?). Then I posted a celebration when she asked, “Mama, you like you carry me?” Well today, we can have an all out party, because B asked me today, “Mama, can you carry me?” We’ve been working in speech therapy on asking for things (”can I have?”) and we’ve started working on directing her questions to who she is talking to (either with eye contact or by name). I’m so pleased to see this progress! Tomorrow is her last speech therapy appointment for this session. I’m really amazed what a difference eight weeks has made for her. I really believe early intervention has had a huge positive impact.
