Sammy finally finished all of the testing at the school district. He had the speech evaluation on the 30th and thankfully he qualifies for speech. If he didnt, I dont know who qualifies! For that one they said he has a hard time putting together language. She said after 2 words his language was unintelligible which we already knew! Today, he had cognitive testing. They havent scored it yet but basically he is behind in comprehension and his behavior issues and inability to accept help and direction stop him from progressing. For instance: Sammy can do the pincer grasp well. Yet, he holds a pencil, pen marker crayon, whatever from the top so he has little control of it. He goes bonkers if you try to show him the correct way so, he stays stagnate in the inability to write or draw with control. Same thing with the spoon. We have been trying to correct this one for a year and still it wont change because Sammy wont allow it to. Same goes for his language. He will stand and grunt instead of using his words and when he doesnt get any response for grunting he throws a massive tantrum, so his language isnt progressing either. They also told us that he is unlike any child they have seen either. So far that is everyone we have brought Sammy to see! Noone has ever seen anyone like him. There has to be another Sammy out there somewhere!
