Talking the Talk

Charlie's verbal skills have been severely delayed due to his perinatal stroke. And while we know that he understands more than he can express, this verbal delay can sometimes prevent Charlie from interacting with people outside of his immediate circle. As of September 2014, Charlie could say between 10 and 15 words. As of June 2015, that number has risen to over 80. Needless to say, this year of school and therapy was instrumental for Charlie Greenman's speech.

Just for fun, we've included a list of all Charlie's words to date. Most of these words are not intelligible to the average listener, but Charlie's teachers, therapists and family can see that he is using these words with consistency with a growing level of accuracy. Keep up the good work Charlie!
