Re: questions about sensory issues

[Guest guest]

, Dominick was 6 and a half months old when tested. We were told

that a hearing problem should be diagnosed by then to keep the speech

delays from happening, but got a run around from EI, so we went and

found an ENT on our own. You can have them tested younger than 6

months, it usually requires a BEAR or BAER test(brain evoked)the one

where they put them to sleep and then hook up electrodes, doesn't

hurt at all.
