Ms Pa

Ms Paula has been Liam's speech therapist for almost a year now.  She comes to visit us every other week and the boys look forward to seeing her!  Liam's speech has grown so much since she started to work with him - it's exciting to hear the progress.

He's combining words and sounds (that appoximate words) each week.  He's had phrases like 'night night daddy/mommy' for a while, but now he'll say things like 'Bye Bye Home. Back".   He says this every morning.  He also uses sounds to approximate words that he doesn't yet know.  For example, yesterday he said 'Mommy vroom vroom kayy kayyy'.  Using my Liam decoding skills, I know that he said Mommy's car is dirty.  Our goal for the next few months is to get words attached to many of these sounds so the rest of you can understand him.

Watching for 'Pa' (aka Ms. Paula) to come for a visit.


Ms. Paula is so nice and spends time talking to Karsten each time she visits.  He always has something to tell her about or show her - she's always interested and patient, even when she's in the middle of talking to Liam.  After her first visit, Karsten asked when Ms Paula was going to teach Liam to talk - we're getting there!   We're lucky to have her helping Liam!
