Praise the Lord!! Aaron qualifies for services from the Lake County Health Department for speech therapy. Today we had a team of folks over to assess Aaron's speech, gross and fine motor skills, social skills, cognitive skills and much more. It turns out that Aaron has a 60% developmental delay in his speech abilities which more than qualifies him for services.
Aaron also seems to have some gross motor skill delay so the health department is sending out a physical therapist to evaluate him. The thought is that he may have a small delay with gross motor skills and they want an assessment done to see how much of a delay he has to determine if Aaron will need physical therapy also. The professionals that were here today do not think that Aaron is too far behind in gross motor but they want to double check. Their assumption is that he will not qualify for services, but that the PT will give Andy and I some suggestions that will help Aaron come up to speed in that area. I'll let you know how the assessment turns out.
