Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

My 19 mo db is likely going to qualify for early intervention for lack of speech/poor oral tone/lack of language cognition. What is the prognosis for this kind of thing? Can he ever `catch up'? TIA.
8 replies [ Reply | Watch | MoreHe is both babbling and making sounds. His ped recommended he get evaluated b/c he has no words. He also seems to be showing, per the evaluator, a lack of comprehension sometimes of basic things being said to him/asked of him...so that's the concern. He got evaluated last night and it looks like he'll qualify.

It depends on how much you work with him. My ds started speech therapy at 26mnths, and he is progressing faster than we ever expected. My concern is tha when he starts nursery in the fall, he will not be riduculed for not speaking as well as the other kids, and she reassured me that by that time, he will be speaking better than most of the kids at his rate of prgoress. I am in touch with the therapist every week, and DH and I incorporate what goals the therapist give us to work on with him in a natural way into his life so he should not feel like it is too hard for him. That was very important ot us. Good luck!
[ Reply | More ]We had the same problem. Firstly, it is not that easy to qualify for EIP anymore. Make sure when you meet with the evaluator, you emphasis the severity of the problem (ie frustration of toddler, tantrums). Once you qualify, I am sure you will be please with the progress. My DD is making tremendous strides. Many people will tell you not to worry about it until the child is 2. As a mother, you know if there is a problem and I don't think it is too early. Good luck.
[ Reply | More ]Excellent prognosis at this young age. Our db didn't qualify for EI, so had a private therapist come in and was a great experience. More growth than I could have imagined. Only took a few months to exceed expected development. www.liftprogram.com
