Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 My 24 mo old son is a puzzle to me. When he was younger I noticed the lack of speech so I went to EI at 16 months old and he has therapy but OT for focus and sensory. I think his sensory issues have almost but dissapeared but anyway no speech therapy was given . I have been fighting with them to get it but they are still hung up on when he was 16 months how delayed he was but now he is at or above in everything except expressive speech according to his new evaluation. They are now entertaining speech but nothing yet. I keep fighting becasue he has no words at all but receptive is good. He never really babbled as a baby. I didn't notice until my new little girl who is 8 weeks old coos and talks and my husband and I were like hey our little guy never really did that. He did have a permanent smile on his face and still does to this day. I should also say he overstuffs when eating. He eats great never choked but a terrible chewer. He can blow a bubble and do raspberrys. He says some animal sounds a few we would only know what he is saying. He can only really say the MMMM sound for " mama " and " more " HE makes the ahhhh sound for WOW. He like Wow Wow Wubzy. Anyway so my research brought me here but it seems no one really gets diagnosed this young. So I decided to try PROEFA as a test to see if it brings out some babbling. We started today. How do i know if this is just a speech delay or apraxia? My regional center is driving me crazy with this run around. I wish I knew where else to go for answers.
