Camden's end of semester speech conference

Today was the official end of Camden's speech therapy for the semester and I had the final conference with his therapist today. He has made TONS of progress this semester and we are all extremely pleased.

We've got good news and bad news. I'll start with the good news.

Camden was assessed and accepted in the Language-Articulation Preschool Program at Baylor. There was only one opening and, after being assessed by the director, she wanted Cam to have first chance at the slot. The preschool is Monday through Thursday from 8:30 to 11:00. There are only 4 students in the class and each student has a one-on-one speech therapist. They would have morning circle time, sing songs, have snack, play games, etc...a lot of the things he's doing in speech now, just much more intense and he would have other students to interact with.

Now on to the bad news...

The preschool schedule makes it impossible for us to take him. Blake never knows where he will be working and while he could take him in the mornings, that would leave no one to pick him up at 11:00 since I don't get off until 11:40. It breaks my heart to have to do it, but we are going to have to decline the opening. I know this would be a wonderful program for him and he would benefit greatly from it, but we just can't work our schedules around the scheduled time. He will still be getting speech therapy twice a week...it just won't be the intense preschool therapy.
