I saw your link on Lincoln's blog. You'll find ours there too under "Gavin". I had to write you a little note to say that it was so nice to hear someone speak a familiar language. My son also has SID and a severe speech impairment. He has no words and almost no consonants and he's 3. We were told that it is from his brain bleed (IVH) and his brain being underdeveloped at birth. This all came from Tennessee School for the Blind, as Gavin is totally blind in both eyes from R.O.P. We have him in a Special Ed. Preschool class and they cannot use PECS because he can't see the pictures, so we use small objects instead. So far this has proved to be difficult because the objects still don't have meaning to him, but we are trying to be optimistic. Your boys are so amazing and incredibly cute. Let me know if you's mind me adding your blog to my list. God bless.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08782720200936687943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20626852.post-88890739448835256832007-09-05T21:12:00.000-05:002007-09-05T21:12:00.000-05:00Hello, my name is Beanie and I’m 21 year old with ...Hello, my name is Beanie and I’m 21 year old with the same CP diagnoses as your son. I found your blog today. I just wanted to let you know that things are really good for me. Some things were of course hard for me but its not bad and many people doctors included seem to think. <BR/><BR/>http://beanieatcollege.blogspot.com/Beaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07737743427975334818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20626852.post-41745007978353246022007-08-23T12:06:00.000-05:002007-08-23T12:06:00.000-05:00Wow, that sounds like a lot to digest...

Does it have to do with the MRI and the area of the brain that is affected? Or is it based solely on the quality of his current speech?<BR/><BR/>I think your plan of action sounds great. I took a class in PECS and it seems really fun and a great way to facilitate language development as well as helping to reduce frustration when language development is slow. I'm really interested to follow along and see how it goes for Collin.<BR/><BR/>Come join our CP moms yahoo group if you are interested. I'd love to have you.<BR/><BR/>And by the way, that picture is cracking me up! It is SO hard to get good pictures of my girls together now:) They are as adorable as ever, of course.Billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589229199716201638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20626852.post-74385394903612972752007-08-20T14:05:00.000-05:002007-08-20T14:05:00.000-05:00Wow, it sounds like never a dull moment with you!A...Wow, it sounds like never a dull moment with you!<BR/><BR/>Are they starting school any time soon?
