I had my second meeting with Ricardo’s school today and he has qualified for an IEP. He will be receiving speech services through the school. In the area of expressive speech, he was low for his age because of his pronunciation of words. The speech pathologist said he scored between 50-60 where the norm for his age should be around 80-115. It makes me a little sad bc we have seen HUGE improvement in his speech yet he still falls very behind 😩

I’m feeling very positive about the future though! His school and staff are amazing! I’m hoping he makes big improvements within this year and next year for when it’s time to transition to an elementary school 🤍
