Younger kids moving faster

[Guest guest]

As a mother of a 21 month old I'm concerned that we may be in need of

further services. My son at this point has no specific diagnosis,

just low tone with speech delay. We are going to Illinois Masonic

next month for a professional group evaluation and hopefully more

direction. We have speech and group play once a week with a

developmental session twice a month. I am concerned that his speech

has not really progress although we have a wonderful SLP. Since he's

not an obvious diagnosis I feel like we are in the " wait and see "

categeory. Should I push for something more at this point? I go daily

from panic and dread to patiently waiting for that surge of verbal

skills. Is he ASD or mild CP? Is he apraxic or just slow to go? I'm

wanting advice on how to be in prediagnosis limbo and get the most out

of it without going crazy. Believe me that I'm not hung up on getting

a diagnosis, I just want to have some realistic goals and clearer

understanding of the big picture.
