Re: Re: PROMPT therapy & maybe McCarton Center

Our son is 2 1/2. He is in private speech therapy. We live in CA and with

all the budget cuts I was really leary of early start so we went with a

private SLP but I am looking into early start as well. At first she wasn't

going to even diagnose him til he was 3 but for several reasons she went

ahead and diagnosed him. When we took him to the neurosurgeon he disagreed

with the diagnoses and felt he only had a mild speech delay for his age. I

think he's somewhere in the middle. We started with the fish oil and NV and

I am seeing a lot more talking and interaction. I think the fish oil is

making a bigger improvement.
