First day of Therapy

We had our first day of "therapy" today.  Melissa (the developmental specialist) got here about 10, and before we started she asked to wash her hands.  I was glad.  She said they have been telling them to take extra precautions.  Anyway, she basically just asked questions to see where Madison was at, and she watched her and played with her.  Melissa played peek-a-boo with her (which is one of Madison's favorite games), and after that Madison was fine with her.  She watched how she pulled up and asked more questions.  She told me more than once that she definitely doesn't think that there is anything majorly wrong, and she just isn't that concerned about her.  She said she just thinks that Madison is on her own time table.  Her recommendations this week were to keep practicing walking while holding my hands, but to make sure I hold her hands at her shoulder level or below.  She said to keep the furniture and items arranged how we had them and to keep working on "bridging" between them.  And, the last piece of advice was to have her crawl to the high chair, changing area, bathtub, etc. and have her pull up so that she knows she needs to stand, and it also helps her learn direction with me encouraging and telling her what to do.  We scheduled the next session for May 15th at 10am.
