I thought I would have to teach my daughter about the world; turns out I have to teach the world about her. They see a girl who doesn't speak,
I see a miracle who doesn't need words.

Speech Therapy

Mostly at speech therapy we've been working on eating. Eating motivates Alex to use her communication switches and when Alex sees Beth she gets so excited because she knows she's going to get to eat! If Beth tries to work on communicating and toys first, Alex pretty much ignores her! :)


We recently found out that there's a possibility that we're not going to be able to keep Beth as our therapist and the thought just makes me want to cry. Alex LOVES Beth. It's rare to see Alex have a connection with anyone, and the way she looks at Beth and smiles at her just melts my heart.


Here's a video of Alex eating and using her switches...








And here's Alex just trying to charm Beth with her smiles :)

Where does Beth think she is going? Tell her if she leaves, Alex will pull her earings out!
