It's been too long!!

I didn't keep up with this blog as much as I wanted to. Sorry! Ben has progressed extremely well in the past few years. Between private & public therapy, his last official progress report had him going from 10% intelligable to 90%. He stopped public school therapy last fall & we've been going privately only. Currently, his private therapist is ready to end therapy all together. Which, sounds great b/c he's come so far...however I feel we are just not done yet. He still has trouble with sentences (you'll hear in the video below how he doesn't pronounce words while talking in sentences - like the word "letting") & often reverts back to old speech patterns. With a reminder to use "careful talking" as we call it, he can repeat it better. However, I am currently seeking a second opinion before he is just "done" altogether. Nonetheless, we are very excited at the progress he has made over the last few years. Here is a recent video of him. One I wanted to share anyway with family of Ben praying. :)
