Birth to three update

Hello all!

Friday we were visited by a rep from the birth to three program. This program will follow Taylor until she is three, then set us up with the school coordinator who will take over until Taylor is 21.

Fridays visit was from the person that will be overseeing all the people that get assigned to Taylor, kind of like a regional manager. She spent about an hour at the house with Kelly, Taylor and Julie. She asked Kelly a ton of questions and then did some tests to determine Taylor’s current development level. This series of questions and tests are for children up to 2mo old. So it was expected that Taylor would not be able to do everything yet. With that being said, she did very well! The rep was very impressed with how Taylor has been doing so far. This is really great news because it affirms everything that we have been doing.

From here the rep will go back to the office and assign a case manager to Taylor according to the amount of help she will need. That case manager will then be our point person for her care. The case manager will coordinate all the efforts of the different therapists and other specialists that will be meeting with Taylor. She will truly be invaluable, because Taylor will be seen by several people a week!

The more we learn about this program the more we are grateful it is here for us. It will be our link to all the specialized care Taylor needs and our gateway into the different support networks and organizations.
