Welcome
This little website is to share
ideas for parents to help with Early Intervention, Floortime, Occupational
Therapy, Speech Therapy, Special Diets and other tips for parents of delayed
kids.
When our son was 18 months old, he seemed to
only understand and speak only about 3 words. At 26 months his expressive
vocabulary was close to 50 words. He sang quite a bit and pointed to things
to ask their names. At 3.9 years he learned to speak in short sentences and
became quite interactive and liked simple games and playing with friends. By
4.5, he was very interactive and will answer most any question, gesture, or
overture as long as he is "regulated" (attentive, alert). You can ready some
of his "language" in the Floortime talk section. He became fully potty trained and has learned to ride his trike. He
learned to copy
his name with "Handwriting without tears" prompts.
Many of the key ideas we found were effective
at home are described in the excel file "Homeideas," in the
Resource files section.
Also, if your toddler or preschooler is just starting
therapy, there is a informational file in the Resource files section. ->
