Thomas' speech therapy evaluation went well. He was asked to identify 30 or so different objects from drawings. He knew most of them but needed to be reminded on some. Some of the items, I didn't even know what they were!! Then he had to read a story and remember some of the details, he did fairly well. She asked him to remember three different words then asked him about five minutes later what they were, which he did just fine. She had him remember a different set of three words and asked him ten minutes later, he needed a little reminding of one of the words, and remembered two of the first set of three! She is recommending that he have additional speech therapy to help with the clarity of his speech. She also recommends that he get therapy with memory, attention and comprehension, common therapies for those with brain injuries, that he has never received.
Well, it's a baby step ... but its a step just the same!
