I received a letter stating that the Division of Developmental Disabilities was unable to determine if ds2 was eligible due to lack of developmental history. Ds is 3 months and has Down Syndrome. I am confused. At what point would he be considered as having at least one delay since intellectual ability or disability cannot be measured yet?
FWIW, at 14.5 weeks he does not have a responsive smile though he does smile in his sleep and at other random times. He also is unable to support his own head.

In our state, Lauren was covered by EI just because of her Down syndrome diagnosis. For private therapy she had to qualify developmentally. I would definitely call somebody!

You should be able to appeal the decision. Has he had any evaluations by ei yet? Sometimes it is just a matter of submitting more paperwork.
Yes, the local school district submitted a copy of his IFSP and MDT report to them and his pedi submitted his medical records as part of the application.
We have 90 days from June 14th to request either an informal or a formal appeal. So for now, I'm checking in with the ladies that run the local down syndrome support group to see what guidance I can get from them.
