With Thanks to The Board Meeting

Small steps is all it takes and every one helps build the foundations for the future. We received a grant for Faith to receive three months intensive speech and feeding therapy. This therapy will not only help in her improvement in speech but will help us build skills in feeding (with the support of the feeding clinic in Adelaide) that will prepare her for the feeding program later in the year or early next year. 

I dare to dream that this time next year she will be eating and progressing even further with her eating and speech. I know she will as she just keeps improving. Our speech and feeding therapy afternoons are filled with afternoon tea (trying not to eat too much, though tempting), bubbles, learning to blow and suck, silly songs, learning to drink from a squeezy bottle and learning that food is a friend and not a foe. 

Thank you to The Board Meeting for assisting us in building the skills needed to progress to the next step in Faith learning to eat!
