Re: hi everyone,first time posting/Barbara

Thanks Barbara! She is getting evaluated but the speech therapist

diddn't seem to think there was a problem, even though my older dd

started out the same way but with severe feeding difficulties also.

They actually denied le for services at 17 months(no

unnderstandable words, eating baby food still) and she diddn't start

until 23 months.

I just have a feeling that somethings not right and want her started

in therapy if she needs it NOW, not at 2 years old! But so far, the

way it looks she won't qualify. She'll get the 2nd part of the eval

(special ed) next week, so we'll see.
