How Ethan has learned to talk

As most of you know. Ethan was diagnosed at the age of 2 with aprexia of speech. After months of tests including an MRI. Genetic testing. A complete blood DNA breakdown. Numerous trips to the neurologist. And many,many nights worrying and wondering why my baby could not talk. The pain of knowing he could not even say "mommy" was so hard. During the diagnosis we met a wonderful woman, Laura Hagan ( Miss Laura to Ethan ) and over the past year she has completely turned this little boy into a talking machine! In our home, then in her office she hs paitently taught not only Freely supplying me with many,many visuals to aid in teaching Ethan at home. He is taking more and more. Everyday new words and the excitement in his voice when he says a new word is amazing. It's such a joy to see this little guy open up. Thanks to Laura, my son can say " mommy " now. I urge you to visit her website and see what she is doing to help so many children today. She is our miracle worker!
