We are seeking advice from the speech therapists that Sierra's been seeing. The University of Redlands has been so helpful. I have really enjoyed branching out and finding out more about speech.
I had a nice conversation with the professor that works with Sierra today. She is going to do a full assessment on Sierra not only in speech, but in language, and phonological awareness. She said that if Sierra is at a normal spot in all the other areas, she could be a candidate for "out of the box" type of therapies.
One of the "out of the box" methods is this: Click here: TinyEye. It is an online speech therapy option for children that live far from therapy options. We're not sure if it is an option for Sierra, or our family but I am excited that this professor want to make time to both assess Sierra, counsel with us and look into "out of the box" options for us if she thinks that Sierra is a good match for that.
I really appreciate this woman, Diane's, perspective. She has been in the speech field longer than all the other therapists we've seen. She has been observing Sierra's sessions for this whole semester, she's worked in public and private practices and now she is a professor at U of R.
So far we have received some counsel from Lucid, our private speech therapist, but I think that Diane has a broader perspective of the field in general. We are interested in getting councel from this woman.
Will you continue praying with us for God's leading in this situation?
Thanks
