Special Spotlight: Little Henry

Henry has been coming to North Paulding Speech Language Therapy one time/week for over a year.

During that time he was diagnosed with Autism. To some, this diagnosis can be overwhelming and defeating. However, his Mom and Grandma committed to bringing Henry to therapy on a weekly basis to improve his communication skills. Henry has made consistent progress learning to use gestures, signs, vocalizations, and a communication board to communicate his wants/needs.

With Speech therapy, Henry is gaining new words and phrases daily. Henry is a smart little boy who just learns differently from other normal developing children. His weaknesses turn into strengths and he amazes us every Speech session. Henry is a 3-year old boy with wonderful parents and grandparents! He teaches me something new every week and brings much JOY to this Speech- Language Pathologist!
