Harper had cleft lip surgery in China in the Spring of 2010.
We brought her home in September of 2010 & soon after, she had her palate repaired on November 2, 2010.
Speech therapy was not recommended at her 3 month post-op appointment.
We decided that we would go ahead & start speech, it wouldn't do any harm, right?
She began speech therapy in March, 2010, less than a year ago & currently has speech 3 times/week for 30 min.
Less than 1 year of ST & she's progressing well.
Of course, we have a long way to go, but given all of her circumstances, new home, new language & new mouth, she's doing awesome!
Harper's determination & willingness to learn has taken her to the level she's at.
She loves her speech therapist & feels special at school having that individual attention from an adult.
I'm SO proud of this kid.
