After Adrian's speech therapy session ended on Aug 24, Adrian will have another 6 weeks speech therapy sessions starting today with the same SLP at Markham Stouffville. The session began with a quick reassessment to see where Adrian is at. Adrian is thrilled to see Rebecca, the SLP, again and he showed significant improvements in mastering the "h" & "s" sounds.
Some of the findings and areas that need to be worked on in the upcoming sessions include:-
- Adrian is able to master a lot of sounds correctly, however, his speech clarity decreases as his sentence gets long.
- Increase his ability to answer open ended questions (e.g. what’s happening to that guy over there?)
- Continue to reinforce sounds like "f", "th" etc.

Following the tradition from last year's, we went trick or treating at the mall this afternoon with some friends. Adrian is so proud to be a knight this year. :)

On a PA Day like today, Adrian is booked with appointments:-
- First formal eye exam with an optometrist. Compared to his last eye check up in March 2009. This exam is more comprehensive which includes identifying different sizes of alphabets, eye movement ability & alignment. At the end of the test, Adrian was asked to wear a 3D glasses and did some test to check for "lazy eyes". Adrian is very cooperative and he passed all the tests with flying colors.
- We noticed a lot of feedback when Adrian has his hearing aids on, so we brought him down to SickKids Audiology clinic to have his ears flushed and then paid a visit at the nearby hearing aids centre to check the aids and make another custom earmold just in case.
- Seasonal flu shot is scheduled for tomorrow morning at the Pediatrician office.

We had the first Parent-teacher interview this evening with Adrian's teachers. It's the FIRST time we ever heard teachers use the terms "talkative" & "Chatterbox" to describe Adrian. Regardless of Adrian's liking to hang out with kids younger than him (maybe a way to boost up his self confidence that he's capable to do more than his friends because he's older), the teachers have very favorable reviews on him and we hope Adrian continues to enjoy his new class in the school.
