***Wheeler to be***

Hi! I'm happy to help in any way I can. In my DD's case, the tantrums were absolutely a result of her speech delay. She became frustrated when unable to communicate and would lose it.Her receptive language was always age appropriate, but her expressive skills at 2 years old, were at a 9 month old level. As she gained more language, the tantrums stopped. It sounds to me like you are doing everything you can! The speech therapy IS helping. It takes time to see results. One day, you will realize, that your child is speaking to you! Please let me know what I can do to help.............!

    One big question I have is the receptive part.  Could you ask her to do something and she did it.  With my son, he understands when we say bite-bites he knows his food is ready.  But anything else he has a I don't know what you are talking about look on his face.  My dh says I am wrong but I don't feel he understands us at all and he says that he understands but chooses not to do it..

    She did follow directions, some of the time. She chose to ignore us some of the time too. I don't know how much of that was the speech delay, or just being 2. Have you had any evals done? Hearing checked? That is the best way to get a read on whats going on. Call your local county health dept to set up evals. Depending on where you live, they can be free of charge.

    we had eval done and get early inter. services and speech once a week for the last 6 months.  They didn't do a hearing test since birth so we are doing one this month or so I am forcing the doc this month to refer us.  Then hopefully it will help us with knowing where to go.

    We were only getting speech once a week too. Then I got the apraxia dx and got it upped to 4x a week. The also added spec ed 2x a week. Can you fight for more services? Do you have an EI coodinater you can talk to?
