New to group

[Guest guest]

I am amazed by all of the info that I have read in this group. My

son was evaluated 10/2007 by the EI program, but since I said he

said " uh oh " at the time, he did not qualify for the program. He

never said it during the eval, but since I said he said it, that was

that. The SLP told me that if he still wasn't talking at the end of

Dec. to schedule a second eval. Which I did and it is scheduled for

next week. My aunt who is an SLP gave us " The Late Talker " as a

Christmas gift and I couldn't put the book down once I started

reading it. Then I wanted to kick myself since we know someone who

has a son that was diagnosed with apraxia and she had mentioned it

to us right before his evaluation, but I passed it off. After I

read the book, I called the friend and told her I couldn't believe

that I didn't listen to her, etc., etc. She was great, said she

understood and has a ton of info to give to me that she has

collected over the years, since her youngest and middle child have

apraxia. I will never be able to read it all before my son's re-

eval next week- does anyone have any words of wisdom they could give

to me? I am very nervous about this and worried that they will yet

again tell me to wait. My son is 20 mos. old and very frustrated,

as are my husband and I and our 5 year old daughter.
