My son is 4 years old now and he was diagnosed with Autistic disorder in month of Jan 2019. I was shattered the day I came to know about this. For many days I cried thinking what mistake I did that my son is suffering. But then I thought I will work towards this problem and give our best shot. For first 8 months we changed 2 therapy centers as we were not convinced by the approach of speech therapist.
Then I started taking speech and occupational therapy in Evolve last year from the month of October 2019. I am very much convinced and satisfied by the approach and the way the ST is taken. In initial few days the therapist told us that he has apraxia of speech as well. We were very upset but we thought we will put in our 100% efforts and work closely with the speech therapist, rest all will leave to god. I am really thankful to Ms. Riya and Ms. Chandana who had put in lot of efforts in the initial 7 months’ time and also guided us every time how to deal with child at home.
During pandemic me and husband started giving more attention to our child and did not leave him unmotivated. Special thanks to Ms. Shreya who has always motivated us which is very much required when we are dealing with our child. From past 7 months Ms. Shreya is taking the session and I can see lot of progress in my child. All her tips and guidance worked like magic for us. I am really grateful to Ms. Shreya for taking the speech therapy sessions during this pandemic. She connects with the child so well and also gives us right guidance time to time. We work at home as per her instructions and it has helped us and Vivaan. I know we still have long way to go but this journey will not complete without the help of speech and occupational therapist.
I urge all the parents to Not to miss the therapy as it as important as the daily meal what we provide to the child. And when we are in the right place like Evolve then we should understand and work towards the goal provided by the therapist. Big thanks to Evolve and Ms. Shreya. Truly speaking am able to write so much today and my confidence has come all.
