I know everything will be ok and Ms. M will have the best of both world because of you.
I also agree that early intervention is worth it.
Thanks for sharing.

yes i think that kids turned two should be made to interact with other kids. once they get used to other kids, they can express themselves on their same level. interesting article!

Nicole, just checking in. If I didn't work, I would have done the exact same thing as you when Zoe was a baby. I loved spending time with her, plus I was exhausted so I don't think I would have signed up for for mommy and me, etc. We are finally in Little Gym together and I'm meeting parents whose children have been going to Little Gym since birth basically. It made me feel awful that I hadn't taken Zoe sooner. I'm glad to hear Miss M is doing great.

wow! That was great for me to read. My little man (18 months) isn't much of a talker. He has lots of ear infections during those 18 months of his life and he now has tubes. We are giving him a little time to see if the tubes and being able to hear correctly will fix his lack of talking. But I have the number to refer him to early intervention from the doctor. Huby and I decided to give it until he is 2- then if he is still behind, we are calling. Now I feel like maybe I should call right away. But I do want to give the tubes time to see if that helps. Anyway- I am so glad it all worked well for you and everything turned out for the best!!

Congrats to Miss M for being all caught up.

Congrats to Miss M for being all caught up.

Early Intervention really is a great service. My son was born 4 months early and we started with the Early Intervention program as soon as he came home from the hospital. He is now 20 months old and is doing great developmentally - in large part to our proactive stance with Early Intervention and Help Me Grow services.

Hey Nicole-

I am so happy to hear you are exiting Miss M from Special Ed. We had the same thing follow MY Miss M, and her label stuck until the end of 5th grade. Of course she was in all gifted classes, too. It is just a phrase, so if anyone is afraid of looking into services for feaer of the Special Ed label, just embrace it, and move on.

Glad to hear she is all caught up! You're right, people should be proactive, they shouldn't delay in getting any help needed, when it comes to things such as that. :D

That is great that she is "all caught up"! You never know what she may have struggled with if you hadn't done it.

Nice to read something from you again....I haven't checked your blog in forever.

Yay! That is amazing news. and you are so right......

2008-11-04T10:07:00.000-06:00

Yay! That is amazing news. and you are so right...early intervention is BEST! It certainly can't hurt and it usually does help. What wonderful news.

2008-11-03T12:10:00.000-06:00

I think that's great she is doing well. There are some kids that just are slower at doing things ,but really there is nothing wrong they are just busy learning and doing other things so don't focus on one thing and then all of a sudden things just click and off they go!

2008-11-02T21:10:00.000-06:00

Guess I didn't explain that very well... no, the experts didn't tell us that, we just figured it was the case. I never really asked that question since I just blamed myself for it!

2008-11-02T20:30:00.000-06:00

Yay for Miss M. That is excellent news. So the professionals said the reason she was "behind" was because she did not have enough interaction with other kids? So does that mean I need to introduce my son to other kids? It has been him, me, and Daddy for 8 months. I hate how people just brush everything off as autism these days.

By the way, I made a button but I am not sure how to link the picture. You click on it, and it goes to photobucket....durrrr. Also I don't know how to do the text box, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
