As I suspected, neither Zoe nor Silas re-qualified for early intervention services at their re-assessment on Friday. Since their diagnosis of torticollis was an automatic one year qualifier for EI, they haven't been assessed since last July. The assessment team this year included 3 clinicians instead of one. We were happy to have Sarah, Leah and Stephanie all here to share in the news of the great outcome!
They did pegboards and puzzles with Sarah,
They watched how they walk, run, kick and jump, and asked about things like using silverware and brushing teeth. The only reason they might have qualified again at this point is for expressive language delay, but they are both doing really great in this regard and have totally caught up for their age.
I burst into tears when they said neither kid qualified.
They were tears of happiness, sadness, and relief. Early intervention has been such a positive part of our lives since the kids were two months old. We have loved working with the entire Children's Community EI team, including Rochelle, Stephanie, Leah, Aditi, Jacqui, and Sarah. But no one wants their kid to be behind. And it looks like we have finally caught up.

And flashlights, more puzzles, and sorting stuff with both Leah and Sarah. Stephanie observed and scored everything throughout the assessment.
