Speech Therapy Wonders!

Jack has been attending the Speech and Hearing Clinic Program at Portland State University for nearly 2 years now. He attends clinic for one hour 2 times a week with a graduate student clinician who is working on their Masters Degree in speech pathology.

This term, they offered to have Sassy join the sessions as a tool in his speech therapy. While it can get a bit hairy at times, they are all doing beautifully! Here's a shot of them from the observation room.

Autism Walkathon 2008

We participated in the Autism Society of Oregon Walkathon for the first time this year. It was extra special for us because we also were able to walk with Sassy! Our team "Jack's Pack" was made up of our family, Grandmom & Pop, Eileen & Declan, and Bern & Shawn. Thanks to all who pledged our team! It all went to a great cause!

Jack and Sassy at the Beach

Sassy visited the Oregon Coast for the first time in her short life last weekend. She really enjoyed playing in the sand. Jack and Sassy are doing so well together. They both are looking forward to our next trip to the beach!
