Sooo, I get a few recommendations for a pediatrician and I try one. He's a good guy, he seems to not be afraid to take action, and seems sure of himself, but not arrogant.
I explain about Austin's history so far, and about my frustrations with ECI coming so infrequently. He agrees with me that it's not enough therapy, and refers us to a clinic for speech therapy twice a week.
I was so excited. Twice a week! We'd really start seeing some progress!
We went in for Austin's evaluation at the clinic...and the SLP (speech language pathologist) suggested day care as the fastest way to catch Austin up. "We can work with him here, but really I think day care is what he needs. They want to be like their little friends and it really pushes them to talk"
I should have just ran for the door then, and not come back.
Instead, I politely explained we were becoming involved in playgroups, and I'd think about daycare, but for now I'd just like the therapy.
