Jace returned to speech therapy today after a long break. It was inspiring to hear his goals, note how he's starting to verbalize more sounds,and said "yeah" clear as day just yesterday. We will work more towards voice output this year and continue to help him build his language. I am able to tell in Jace's voice if he's going to say yes or no, as he gets quite whiny when it's no but the hope is that we can reduce language and body barriers for those working with him who do not know him as well. I am so excited for him! I stumbled upon a fabulous and inspiring story that increased my level of hope for Jace's future. As I have been thinking about his friendships for when he transitions into middle school, this really nailed it for me from the story. See the link below to read the full story about these two friends. Love it! :)
“This is what I’ll say about disability – it may be a roadblock to friendship for some people, but if that’s the case, the other person is likely not a person you want to be friends with, anyway.
