When I got pregnant with Rian, I have dream of her speaking with me the three languages (Tagalog, English, Ilocano-my native tongue) that I was exposed to. We lived in Tanauan city where two languages are use. In her previous school, her classmate speaks in English more than Tagalog. Moreover, in my hometown Kalinga province people are speaks English, Tagalog, and our dialect-Ilocano.
Welcome to my blog. I have created this blog to share with you the activities of my daughter to improve her Speech Delay and hyperactivity. I hope it will help other Mom's who worry about their child's development

Rian's age: 3 years and 11 months
Before I enrolled Rian to another SPED, I had to make sure this time that we get the value of our money.
We have found Carolina SPED in Tanauan. I had chance to talk to their head Ms Malou Panghulan for about 3 hours. I had a chance a to ask questions and she was able to clear out my doubts with SPED. Below are some topics that we have discussed:

Developmental Pedia: Dr. Joel Lazarro
What does the clinic look like? It looks like a play room with a desk.
Upon Arrival, the doctor brings with him a trolley full of toys.
He let Rian play the toys. After few minutes, the doctor plays with Rian.
He asked if she can identify the toys there. Below are the toys he asked Rian to play with:
1.) Kitchen utensils: Spoon, fork, plate, cup
à Doctor needs to know if she knows how to use the basic kitchen utensils
2.) Doll, Feeding Bottle
à Doctor needs to know if she knows that feeding bottles are for babies
3.) Wood Puzzle
à Doctor needs to know the level of abstract thinking of Rian. He started with simple puzzle until the complex puzzle if she can do it
4.) Question and Answer
à Doctors needs to know if she understands what he tells her.
Sample 1: That is Barney (while pointing at Barney); Doctor said a child must look where he is pointing
Sample 2: Where is Barney? Doctor said a child must point where Barney is
According to the Doctor, most important sign that a child is normal is that a child must be able to look eye to eye when talking.
The findings and recommendations were discussed with the parents after the evaluation.
Baby Rian's Speech Delay and hyperactive behavior
Baby Rian was 2 years when we noticed that she was not talking clearly as her cousin who is 2 months younger than her. She was also very active. She loves to run, jump, climb our sofa. It's as if she doesn't get tired.
She was 2 years and 2 months old when we decided that we bring her to a developmental Pedia.
To my surprise, there are not so many developmental Pedia in the Philippines. Thus, you need at least a month to get a schedule. I beg the developmental Pedia (Dr. Joel Lazaro) of Calamba to insert my daughter in his schedule so that she will be checked before my husband goes abroad to work. I would like him to hear what the doctor has to say.
Speech delayed Rian: from Toddler to Nursery
From September to March, Rian studied in toddler school.
When we enrolled her, we have explained to her situation so that the school will know.
She accepted her even when they know that she is hyperactive and speech delay. They said they will observe and make recommendation if it is necessary for her to go back to SPED.
Her schedule was 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM. She loves to go to school.

Finding the right Toddler School in Tanauan for children with Speech delay
Journal date: August, 2011
Rian's age: 3 years and 11 months
In August 2010, I had to look for a regular school for Rian.
Looking for the right school for a hyperactive and speech delayed child is something that I have to consider.
I had to visit all the the schools and below are are my considerations:
1.) It should have a SPED near the school
2.) Play and learn method of teaching
3.) No. of students per class: My target is max: 10
4.) At least 2 of her Classmates should be talking well so she can learn from them
5.) Teacher should NOT be newly graduate
6.) Teacher aid (assistant of Teacher) should be available
7.) School should be air conditioned
8.) Receives 3 year old kids
9.) It should have a gate
10.) It should have a guard in the gate so that children cannot go out without their yaya
Luckily, I found a school in Tanauan that has a SPED as sister school.
The name of her school is Penleigh and the SPED is Carolina.
Having a SPED sister school makes my best option. Their regular school can make recommendation should my daughter needs needs to go back to SPED to improve her speech delay and hyperactive behavior.
