First evaluation

The therapists came today to evaluate Buddy--one was an oocupational therapist and the other was a developmental therapist. They spent a little over an hour watching and playing with him, scribbling notes and asking questions about him. They said that by virtue of his WS diagnosis, he was automatically eligible for the First Steps program, which I was happy to hear. Overall, they said that he's doing well. The only delays they saw were in his fine motor and verbal skills. And on those counts, they said the delays weren't because he wasn't capable of developing those areas, but just that he hadn't yet developed those areas. The next step is to meet with a coordinator, formulate a plan, and choose the therapists and therapies we want.
