I started this blog about what my son has gone through since we noticed he was speech delayed. In July of 2011 we finally had some answers and he was diagnosed with Autism. It talks about the testing, struggles and progress he makes. My hope for this blog is to help other parents through the stages and struggles that occur when having a child(ren) with special needs.

PT
Before Christmas I found out Cole was approved for PT (Physical Therapy). I was excited since I know Cole has poor core muscles and tends to need help with certain tasks. We live in an apartment on the first floor so he has not had much practice with stairs unless we go to a friends house. He is not horrible at it but I worry if he tries to go up or down by himself. I knew that the therapist who evaluated him wanted to take his case on but would not be able to do that until after the holidays. So as I was about to call today to see what was going on with making his appointments when they called me. The call was a reminder that Cole had an appointment tomorrow at 11am. I told them that we were not made aware of this appointment but we would take it since I didn't want to prolong this so we took the appointment. I am hoping that Cole will enjoy this but I have a feeling that since they will be putting demands on him he might not. The gym is really nice and I Cole loved running around it the last time we are there. I am hoping that tomorrow I will be able to get some pictures and blog about the whole experience we have. I will also include Cole's goals that we will be making. I know we have a lot. Also next week we have an EI OT appointment. Hopefully we get approved for that.So until tomorrow.
