Merryn's Cognitive Assessment - Part 1

We've done the first part of Merryn's Cognitive Assessment and she did great!  In fact she was still going strong when she got bored with the whole process and we had to call it quits.  This week we are going to finish the assessment off and the FECs team will do a report for us.  The downside of this is she is unlikely to qualify for FECs support and the upside is she is unlikely to NEED FECs support.  :)
Playing with the truck.

The therapist did say he could see why I had concerns about her in regard to anxiety and her delayed speech however.  He said her ability to communicate was markedly behind where it should be.  I'm taking Connor back to the Speech Therapist this week so I'll talk to her about booking Mezzy in for some for her also.

Overall I'm really thrilled though.  It looks like she is going to be OK intellectually and while that still means we will most likely have an emotional rollercoaster, it will be easier to ride if we can talk to her about it all.  Go my baby girl!  :D
