I posted concerns about DD's (26 mths) speech development in toddlers:
http://www.mothering.com/discussions...d.php?t=635441
And I'm wondering if an evaluation is warranted, and if so, how do I get one? Is 26 mths too young for them to do an eval through the school district/ ECI?
UPDATE:
DD is 27 mths, and had an eval today. These are her results:
Receptive Language: 12 mths
Expressive Language: 18 mths
Adaptive: 21 mths
Cognitive: 25 mths
Physical: 33 mths
Social Emotional: 30 mths
So she is advanced in somes areas and delayed in others (speech mainly). I wasn't surprised at the overall picture but was pretty shocked by the receptive delays. I mean, I knew there were some issues but I didn't expect them to be that much delayed
She qualifies for therapy and I'm both excited that she's getting help and kind of depressed that she needs it.
I don't know why I'm posting... I guess I just needed to tell someone, and see if anyone else has similar experiences and what kinds of things helped their child, and I wonder if I did anything to cause her delays - both DH and I are kind of quiet people, we don't talk all that much, and she doesn't have siblings or consistent playgroups.
