Help Me Grow evaluation

we had our HMG eval. this morning. two (EI) early intervention specialists came to the house and did a full eval on kinsley. they also asked me a butt load of questions from pregnancy to present day.

the eval went very well and kinsley did great. they definitely saw the low strength and lack of development in the left hand and arm as well as the leg. they mentioned that she has low tone (lack of muscle strength) in her core and gave me some exercises to do with kinsley when we play. she is over compensating with her arms and legs for this low tone and so she sits up oddly and moves differently. she also locks her knees when standing rather then engaging her abs. that would be why her legs always seems so strong. they also saw how she crawls oddly and uses the right leg more then the left.

so basically they saw everything i was concerned about, and validated those concerns. they will do the write up in the office and score their eval and then i will get a call with the results. she has to score 1.5 deviations from the norm to qualify but they have already told me they will do a medical opinion if she doesn't score right because they feel she is in need of physical therapy.

so now we wait for the phone call and then probably end up on a waiting list! we will see.

overall i was very happy with the meeting and i am glad they noticed what i have been seeing. they did mention that it could complicate walking for her but i think she will adjust to her body and figure it out like she has with everything else so far. she may be awkward but she moves!!
