FIRST SPEECH THERAPHY

Johan stopped doing OT last December because we had to move to Cavite. We thought we could have a fresh start in a larger abode that we rented. To make a long story short, we moved back to Paranaque after considering some factors.

And we jumpstarted Johan's Speech theraphy session / speech evaluation today. Considering my financial capacity, it's kind of pricey. I spent 2500.00 for it, which was higher than the professional fee we paid for his developmental doctor. We got the earliest ST session at 8:00 AM. He has to attend two sessions a week. It's not so convenient for me but we grabbed it anywy since we didn't have any other choice. Waking up early in the morning is a tall order for me as well as for the little one. But on the other hand, it would be good because if we got the later session, he would be distracted by other kids. Hence,  it might hurdle his focus.

His teacher was so fascinated by how much he improved compared to before when he had Occupational Theraphy. He was completely cooperative during the session which I'm thankful about. He was able to tell the colors of some objects. He did very well in his puzzle test which is plausible.
