Made the first step...

Hi Ladies,

I've posted asking about speech issues in the past and mentioned that we were on the waiting list for an evaluation for my now 2 yo DS.  Well since we initially requested the assessment 6 months ago and I haven't heard anything back from the health region and DS has made little progress in his expressive language, I went out on my own and found an SLP to evaluate him so we can get him help if he needs it.  I was worried he'd continue to fall further behind if there was a serious issue so I need to have this eval done for my piece of mind and for his future success.  It will cost me out of pocket ($100/hour) but between DH and my health plan coverage it should be reimbursed.  If not $100 towards my sons future is totally worth it.

After much googling, I am leaning towards Apraxia but I guess time will tell. 

I'll update when I know more!
