This past week has been 6 months since we got Jackson involved with First Steps. They have been a huge blessing for our family in helping us navigate developmental/intellectual disabilities/delays and we will always be grateful. So, after you have been in the program for 6 months you have a meeting to talk through progress and to discuss adding any changes to the program you might want to make….they really do cater to you!
We discussed Jackson’s IFSP, Individualized Family Service Plan. This is a plan for special services for young children with developmental delays that focuses on the child and the family from birth until 3 years of age. Once a child turns 3, they are phased from the First Steps Program into the Early Childhood Center of your school district and will be on an IEP, Individualized Education Program.
We are so happy to see Jackson making such great progress and there will always been things to improve upon, so this time we discussed adding speech therapy!! We are beyond excited to hear this little man’s voice one day, so we cannot wait to begin these sessions.
In other news, Jackson has really become a master with a fork! He loves to eat whatever we eat and the other night he took my fork out of my hands to feed himself fried rice! Way to go, big dude!!
