While the little boy is still “non-verbal,” JWoww also shared that there has been “positive, positive” development. “He has co-therapies every week but we’re going to step it up a notch soon and get him ABA treatments, speech therapy,” she said. The extra counseling has apparently been a great help in regards to building connections between words and meanings.

“He’s understanding words better which was his issue. Not that he couldn’t speak, but he would never know what his shoe is or if you said, ‘Greyson,’ he actually didn’t even know his name at one point until he was a little over two,” she explained. “So now that he’s understanding simple words, he’s come so far.”
