speech therapy

this is zaavan at speech therapy working with the dynavox and playing with the bubbles! his therapist likes to make him "kiss" the bubbles to work on pursing his lips together, in order to improve mouth and jaw function. the little green alligator is a device that vibrates and is used for muscle stimualtion to improve oral motor skills. zaavan isn't thrilled, but at least he tolerates it, which is a far cry from where he was two months ago. he has always had a pretty significant aversion to anything even coming near his face, let alone in his mouth! i'm sooooo proud of my little guy!!
