Hello,
I am a stay at home mom to 4 wonderful children. i would not trade the time i get to spend with them for anything. The kids are growing up so fast it is unreal. My oldest is in second grade this year, my little me...lol..(she looks just like me) is in kindergarten, and then my baby girl was 4 in November, and my baby boy was 3 in December...He is the reason for joining this site.He is in the process of being evaluated for Autism.So far all they will tell me is that he has developmental delays, Gross motor delays, mixed receptive/expressive language disorder, sensory issues,low muscle tone...and then they say.."Early signs of Aspergers" or "Possible PDD-NOS" , we take him back again this month..i am hoping to hear something other than bring him back in 3 months..:) and his regular ped, said he thinks hi is on the higher end of the spectrum. and his speech therapist said she thinks he might have apraxia...so there you have it.....my introduction....:)...i am hoping to make some friends who understand without a word....:)

It seems like we are constantly going to evaluations lately..lolol… I
don't know if you remember but her school is going to test her for a
learning disability, and we got the speech.language report back today
This is what the findings were
Noelle has weakness in the area of segmantics.( vocabulary) and
processing. Specifically difficulty was noted with her ability to
identify categories ,state labels, functions ,and definitions. Noelle
also had difficulty recalling details, reasoning, and understanding
messages….The testing information does indicate a signifigant language
delay that would interfere with her performance in the regular
classroom. Therefore Noelle is a child with a disability in the area
of speech and Language impairment and is in need or specially designed
instruction.
And then with everything thats going on with Silas i just feel blue
today...:(

Has she been receiving Speech prior to this? There are some diagnosis's I have heard of like semantic pragmatics disorder and auditory processing disorder? Were these mentioned to you and what does "specially designed instruction" mean to them? Keep your chin up and hang in there! I'll offer whatever I can to you as I have had tremendous exposure to language issues in a previous job :) Your not alone!
