HMG

we had another meeting with HMG today. They went over her eval. results and we wrote her IFSP (individual family service plan). it is like the IEP (individual education plan) that kids 3 and up have. anyways. she ended up qualifying in fine and gross motor so she will eventually see an occupational therapist (OT) and a physical therapist (PT). she did qualify with the medical opinion however her scores were still low in 4 areas, just not low enough. i am happy with the med opinion because right now she is catching up and seems ok to people that don't spend alot of time with her, but on an every day basis you can still see her delays. this way in case they get larger we will already have help in place, and hopefully can work on strength now and not have to worry much later.

her lowest score was in fine motor. her left hand still doesn't use a pincer grasp. so that is pretty far behind the norm.

so now of course we are on waiting lists!! first for the bridge program and then for in home care. the bridge program we would take her to for 1 hr every 2 months and they will work with her there and then give me things to do at home. that waiting list is 2 months. i am not sure how often the in care will be but that wait is 6 months right now. i am ok with the wait, i feel like 6 months will be very telling for kinsley. she will be gaining so many skills over that time that if the delays is going to get worse it could very possibly show up then.

so for now i will keep doing the few small things i know to do here and we will wait for a phone call!
