Welcome to the group Patty.

Does Tabitha,(love the name) follow any kind of schedule? If not, that may

help. Seth, my son, will be 8 in a couple weeks. He's nonverbal. Does

Tabitha talk? When was she dx'd? Did you go to all the info on the site? It

will

answer, or help you understand, a lot of your questions. Nice to have you

with us.

Hi Patty,

Welcome!

Hope you had a chance to review over the files section on this list

on the dual dx. Did you have a chance to read the Disability

Solutions Newsletter that Joan Medlen moderator of this list have

graciously have written? Which have been a great tool or at least to

open doors in regards to understanding our children and have

reconstructively switched our energy towards some answers and

strength to persue this journey towards some solutions & Hope.

Enjoy your reading and according to my thoughts here, you've join a

great list due to the list being just awesome in sharing any type of

info and its great reading more than one just to know you are not

alone, but it all falls into we can all relate to your post.
