There is a new state wide service you can access by dialing 211 too. It

should hook you up to a local Dallas agency that can refer you to local

places.

Early Childhood Intervention

Hi all,

I have a friend with a 10 month old baby who is not reaching out, not

responding, etc. She is very concerned. I would like to recommend that she

call ECI

in her county but I am not sure how to find it. I looked in my phone book

to

no avail. I don't know what county she lives in, but it is in South Dallas

near Oakcliff. Can someone who has been through ECI please let me know how

you

found their number? I am currently NO MAIL, so if it is not too much

trouble, please email me privately @whcmccain@....

Thanks so much,

[Guest guest]

I just want to say, that some people are going to try to discourage you from

looking into whether or not the baby is developmentally delayed or not,

because they usually wait so long, at least 18 months, to start looking at

this stuff. I KNEW when my Caleb was born, he was different. Ya, I didn't

know about autism until he was a year and a half, because the Dr's kept

disregarding my concerns because he was still early in the developmental

stage. My son acted opposite of my first child. The point of my blathering

is, the best thing your friend could do for now, is tons of research on

groups like these, because she is realizing it at such an early stage, she

has a great advantage and can do a lot of things to help her baby, including

GFCF since he/she is just starting foods. You can recommend ECI and see if

they would be willing to help (I haven't had experience with them) but it

sounds like your friend's baby is very lucky to have a mom who is catching

this (if there is anything) so early. Hope this helps!
