Our pediatrician recommended that baby go to early intervention months ago. It didn't seem like such a big deal, since many of the things baby was behind in seemed to fix themselves soon after. Talking, however, is still an issue. So we finally went.
He was a champ, playing with all the toys, especially climbing the toy stairs. There was a physical therapist, a social worker, and a coordinator from the service company there. We all agreed that he's adorable. All the play was a way for them to observe his gross motor, fine motor abilities, as well as his problem solving skills, and any speech.
Good news: he's on track for adaptive development (on track), cognitive development (unable to assess, since he doesn't talk), communication (25-30% behind), physical (on track), and social emotional development (on track).
Next step: a speech therapist comes to our home once a week to help us learn! I'm both anxious and excited.
See? that wasn't so bad. I'm glad you took the first and second step and I'm excited to hear about what comes next. Yay for my peeps (social workers and other helping professionals)!!
