After much deliberation, we finally decided to try speech therapy again. She seems much more in control of herself these days and she is able to produce sounds, ahh bah – at least upon request! She did make those sounds a few times in the last four weeks which is a result because she is clearly trying to talk. But the biggest problem now is her age, she’s already ten years old and psychologically she is not keen on learning how to talk.
She communicated through her facilitated communication board that she doesn’t want to talk! Maybe life is too easy, who knows.
So we have spent the last few weeks talking to her and trying to get her to come to terms with having to make an effort to communicate.
Here goes another challenging week…
I’ll keep you posted on the outcome.
