Guest guest Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Ellen- Thanks. Coming from a " kid " , that means a lot. I hope my son gets it some day -- how much we love him. I mean, the love of a mom for a child is so incredible. It's indescribable. I hope someday he feels that for his own child and then realizes that I've always felt that for him too.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 is scheduled for his IFSP next week. I will see how it goes and then decide what next step I will take. The " total communication " school providing 's EI services already indicated that they will not be able to service him once he turns 3. They are a communication school for hearing impaired kids and 's primary impairment is not hearing. The therapists have been very kind not to label or put numbers on cognitive factors but this will be part of the discussion at this meeting. I have a feeling that they are trying to tell me that although they are not neurologists, 's behavior is very " autistic-like " in some areas. He is very interested in everything that is presented to him but does not do anything that is " functional " with these items. I guess I will have to determine whether we need to look at schools which cater to the " autistic " population so that the sensory integration program would be strong and he could get intesive " communication " therapy. He will also need feeding therapy, once his hearing is determined, he will need an itinerant teacher of the deaf, physical therapy, occupational therapy, vision therapy, etc. I hope there is a school that can provide all this...
