Update on speech appt for DS

So they just left a little while ago, they did a series of "tests" which were activities with DS he did well but he didn't score high enough for language and receptive language so he qualifies to get help from them. I'm happy that he will be getting help but on the other hand I feel like I'm failing as a mom that he is not speaking as much as he should. I know I shouldn't feel that way and called DH crying after the appt but it's hard to hear that he is "behind" for his age. Not a good start to the week.

You are NOT a failure as a mom! You are awesome and are doing the best that you can! And you're an amazing mom for reaching out to get tested just in case and getting help for B!
Big hugs for you! Don't get yourself down! You're doing an awesome job!
I'm sorry, I know it is hard to hear things like that. Will you be doing weekly speech therapy or what does the course of action look like?
Hugs to you!
yea it sounds like it will be weekly. I guess I should be happy I had him evaluated but right now I just feel defeated and blah
we meet with them again Thursday to finish paperwork then set up appointments. I hope they help!
Yes this! Far better to get him help sooner than later.
As a teacher, I see MANY parents who refuse to have their kids tested in high school because they've been in denial their whole lives. Their kids, in the meantime, fall further and further behind and at that point, it's the parent who failed them. You are doing the right thing and I'm sure that it will all work out!
A failure of a mom wouldn't have any idea that he's behind and they sure as heck wouldn't do anything about it! The fact that you are making sure he has the tools to succeed means that you are an awesome-great mom!
For reals, if he never has any challenges he won't have anything to talk about when he gives his nobel prize acceptance speech!
You are not a failure at all! You are taking the right steps for your son. I'm sure he will be talking in no time :-)
BTW, I remember your first post but I don't remember how many words they wanted to see by 18 months. How many was it? We have our 18 month wellness check in a few days and I'm worried about our DS and his talking.
Hopefully he'll be talking quickly I'm tempted to get his hearing checked too just in case since he's had a few ear infections recently. He hasn't turned 18 months yet but I think they want to see at least 6-8 words by 18 months and only he's only saying about 5 or 6. His 18 month appt isn't till July 15th and Ped. didn't say I should do the therapy I just went about it on my own.
This is what makes you a GREAT Mom!! Sorry you are having to deal with this, just remember this is a 100% the right thing for your DS and he will be better for it! Hugs to you and I will say a prayer that therapy works quickly and effectively!
