[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD started early intervention around 18 months (we started the process around 16 months when she had no words). This was last fall, so no vaccines, and in MoCo, so different program. But it was all virtual.

In terms of the assessment they did rely a lot on parent observations. Which seems like it would be the case anyway, toddlers don't always perform everything they can actually do in one or two sittings.

The services worked great for us. It is a parent coaching model in MoCo so it is about giving you as the parent strategies for helping your child to talk. Half the time we met with the therapist without DD and half the time we had DD there (DD goes to daycare) to practice the strategies. She graduated from early intervention before she turned 2.

Virtual was actually convenient for us and forced us to learn to implent the strategies. I don't know how helpful early intervention is if it is just an hour with a therapist - we incorporated the strategies into our daily routines. Granted, it's quite likely none of this mattered and DD was going to have her speech explosion around 18-20 months anyway, but I do think the virtual model works fine at this age.[/quote]

OP here - thank you so much for this!! This certainly makes a lot of sense. They can teach us what to do over video for sure. Thanks for posting! You’ve put my mind at ease. [/quote]
