[quote=Anonymous]Some kids do catch up and graduate from therapy/interventions.   Some kids don't but eventually their parents find the root cause of the delays (my case).  Some kids don't catch up and their parents never learn what the cause is (what seems to me the worst case scenario).  My kid had the same profile as yours.  18 months is when, generally, you start to get referred to other kinds of providers when milestones aren't met.  I had tons of questions then too and it was really hard getting used to the I&T people in my house (hated that), finding private therapists, figuring out insurance issues, figuring out next steps, which other docs to see and the like.  In our case I had a hard time talking to friends and family because I had nothing but questions and so did they.  And I was tired of thinking about that stuff literally all the time.  It does get easier and even routine but now as you are figuring out what's what it's a really hard time.  If you haven't already take a look at the ongoing pediatric studies at NIH and see if your kid fits any of them.  We are lucky to be close--all the care is free and you have access to the smartest people in the medical community. [/quote]
