We had a physical therapist and a speech therapist to the house today to evaluate Timmy. A huge pile of questions and a lot of 'playing' with Timmy over the course of about a half an hour and they told us we would get their report soon.
What we could figure out is that some of Timmy's abilities surprised them, but we weren't sure if any of the areas were areas of concern just yet or not. They gave us some suggestions on things to work on while we're waiting for the reports to be filed and therapy to start. More tummy time for Timmy, and supported kneeling to start working on leg strength. Just he sort of things we want to hear to keep our home therapy on track and continuing to help him.
They told us most of their clients don't follow their instructions very well and it requires them to be in homes more often to actually do the therapy with the children. Hopefully, they will find us to be a 'good' client that needs very little attention as it sounds like they have a bit more work than they can keep up with already.
All told, it was nice to hear we are doing some good things, and just as nice to hear some suggestions of things to help Timmy improve. We were also impressed with how the ladies interacted and worked with Timmy while they were here. Not everyone works well with children, but these ladies enjoyed Timmy and were very good with him. They may or may not be the therapists we work with (they might only d his evaluation), but at least it says good things about the group we will be working with.
