Speech Evaluation

At Nate's appointment last week (I still need to blog about that), I brought up three things to the doctor, hoping to get some answers. One of those things was his speech.

He's tongue tied and for a long time, he wasn't able to stick his tongue out past his lips. This is something that he's dealt with since he was a baby, but because he was eating and developing fine, they didn't want to clip the skin under his tongue. He's gotten to the point that he can stick his tongue out, but it's still tight and when he does stick it out, it looks like a w instead of a v. Crazy, huh?
There are some sounds that he can't seem to make and I'm not sure if the tongue is the issue or if it's an issue of him slowing down and working on those certain sounds.

The doctor was able to get us a referral and an appointment, which happens to be tomorrow at 1:30. I'm not able to go, but Dave is going to take him and I look forward to hearing what they have to say and if they feel that he would benefit from speech therapy.
