Mary's Assessment


So we had Mary assessed last Thursday. And what for you ask. For some time I've seen that Mary is speech delayed and mom's instinct told me that there were other developmental delays too. We had a developmental assessment done by a child psychologist and Mary was diagnosed with PDD-NOS, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (Not Otherwise Specified.)

The therapist recommended 5 days a week of in home cognitive therapy at an hour a day. And of course speech therapy, eating therapy, and occupational therapy to go along with it. And I need to go to the school district and get them started assessing her because when she turns 3 she can go to a special preschool and the school districts sort of take over the therapy. But one step at a time and it's all a little overwhelming. We'll figure it out.
