		<description><![CDATA[Since Riley&#8217;s therapy was cut back to every other week, we&#8217;ve been focusing on getting her to think about graduating from auditory-verbal. She has two goals right now: 1. Look at the person who&#8217;s talking and the person you&#8217;re talking to. 2. Talk in complete sentences. She&#8217;s doing pretty well with those two objectives, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some good news about Riley and her auditory-verbal therapy &#8230; our therapist cut us back to every other week instead of every week! After seven years of weekly sessions (give or take holidays and illnesses), it&#8217;s nice that she&#8217;s made so much progress that we can go less often. Her expressive vocabulary is better, her [...]]]></description>

She&#8217;s paying better attention this year, but we still need to figure out a better way to communicate than just yelling at her. It&#8217;s hard for anyone to hear a coach yelling from the dugout during a game and even harder when you&#8217;re hearing impaired. [...]]]></description>
