Meet Tessa. Jocelyn's speech teacher. Two times a week we head to speech class. I'm sure many of you are wondering what on earth a little girl who doesn't talk much does at speech class. Really, it's amazing to watch. Jocelyn goes through stacks of flash cards, repeating words like poppy, oh boy, ouch and down. In between each set she gets to pick a toy to play with. Jocelyn works so hard through the 30 minute session. Much if this is due to a FABULOUS speech therapist. She keeps a two year olds attention like you wouldn't believe. Jocelyn studies her mouth as the words come out and then works tirelessly to get the word to come out the same as Tessa.
Speech is difficult for Jocelyn. Expressive speech is the area of her development where she tests the lowest. Her latest assessments show her at about a 22 month level. She is 33 months.
The progress we have seen since beginning speech with Tessa is impressive. She is beginning to put 2 words together. Example: "shoes on", "bye dada". She is quite proud that she says, "mama Elmo please!" It's hard to say no to that!
