[quote=Anonymous]My DS was born at 34 weeks and is now 7 weeks old (1 week adjusted).  He's growing well, but I have some concerns about motor issues (he strongly favors turning his head to one side v the other) and generally really want to make sure I'm doing all I can for his development.  I had heard of Early Intervention services and figured that our ped would recommend them if anything major came up at regular checkups.  No one in the NICU or our Ped office has me ruined Early Intervention, so I figured we were fine.

Today at a breastfeeding support group I met moms of two other babies around DS's age.  Both are getting PT services and had been through Early Intervention evals.  One was getting PT for a stiff neck in one side; the other for extra head control support.  One was referred from the NICU, the other, her ped.  They said they didn't notice anything wrong with their babies; they had the impression this was standard from the county for all preemies.

Have I missed the boat?  We're in Fairfax.  How does this work?[/quote]
