Evan has done very well in his development but speech is a big area where he is very behind, we have been working on signing but their is frustration with both Rudy and I as parents and Evan as the child who cannot get his needs or wants across to us. We have decided to get a DynaVox communication device for Evan, this is basically a personal computer for him that has a program for communication, it has pictures and scenes that he can choose from. He has done a great job in learning to choose and navigate up to 2 screens. Hopefully we will get Evan's device sometime in September so he will have a chance to work with it before he starts preschool in November. These pictures are of Evan and his speech therapist Jane and the DynaVox rep Jamie.
This is the story of Evan who was born October 22, 2004 and was diagnosed at 9 months with a rare brain malformation called bilateral perisylvan polymicrogyria which has resulted in cerebral palsy, seizures, developmental delays etc. This is the story of the joys, heartaches and frustrations of being and raising a child with special needs.
