try to search around your place. pwede thru facebook. kami, nagsearch lang din kami sa facebook. nag-ikot ikot kami, we went to several therapy centers and inquired how much. until we found that we can afford and ok ang environment for our child na hindi sia matatakot. at 1yo, i was concerned. hindi sia lumilingon kapag tinatawag namin, hindi sia masiadong nagsasalita. few words lang talaga. and so, i did speech therapy sa kanya at home. then she improved, i was so happy. however, at 2yo, pedia said dapat ay nakaka-phrases na sia. maraming words na siang alam pero 1 word lang ang salita nia. kaya we enrolled her sa playschool. the playschool is ok but it is not applicable for our child if we want intervention. kaya naghanap ulit kami pero sa therapy centers na until we found one that we can afford. mahal ang assessment dahil it is an evaluation of the child and they schedule it dahil sa dami ng nagpapa-assess. we enrolled my toddler sa playschool without asking for an assessment, para maka start na sia agad. so my toddler was not assessed but she was observed thru playschool kaya naka-mura kami, though meron talaga silang assessment. we said our concerns (echolalia and hand leading), they said that if kelangan based from observation, they will recommend the assessment and what therapy to recommend. kasi, based on their initial observation, clear naman sia magsalita and no need for speech therapy. ang need nia is to improve social skills and communication skills. tinuruan din nila kami on how to teach our child sa bahay. ang maganda sa plasyschool nila is tutok sila sa mga bata. nagsesend sila ng pictures daily kung anong activities ang ginawa nila on that day (iniiwan ang bata then babalikan). so nasa playschool ang anak ko from 2-3yo. gustong gusto nia pumasok. at 3yo, she can speak in sentences na. we saw great improvement. and i am so very grateful to them. at 4yo, it was just sad na umalis ang anak ko sa kanila dahil pinag full time sia sa daycare, kahit ang inquiry ko lang ay mondays and fridays lang sa daycare (dahil tuesday-thursday ang kanyang playschool). just the same, my child is enjoying her daycare now. sometimes, we visit the playschool, namimiss nia.
