Rice Cereal!

Matthew tried rice cereal for the first time last weekend. He seemed to like it! Instead of putting the spoon directly into his mouth, we tip the spoon towards him from the side to encourage him to keep his tongue inside his mouth and to have him close his mouth. These are some of the things that we work on during speech therapy. His therapist has been happy with his tongue movement, lip closure, and the way he is beginning to imitate sounds.
