how to handle halloween? holidays?

[Guest guest]

My 3 yo son really only has 1-2 words if that. My husband feels since he can't

talk that there is no reason for him to go trick or treating because he can even

mimic the works trick or treat and can't even say thank you.

This is becoming a recurring theme-most family members want to just ignore Joe

because he can't talk. Most say-i don't know what to get him for Christmas

since he can't tell us.

I don't know what is in Joe's head. We haven't ever even heard his little

voice. I don't know if he realizes what is going on.

I just cried all last night. He is making progress (he at least is trying to

say words). Unfortunatly, the NV hasn't worked miracles for him like some of

your likes.

Any advice? For any of you with older kids, what do they say about when they

couldn't talk-did they understand what was going on?
