I will say that my experience with Infants and Toddlers is that the program is only as good as your individual therapist.  We had some truly excellent people come to our house, but there was definitely a lot of the "we don't offer that" when they do etc, as you describe.  We did have speech therapy, which was the only thing keeping us in the program, before 2 years old.  It just wasn't from a "speech therapist" so there is a perfect example of what you are describing.  When we did get a speech therapist at 2, she was a person who was clearly burned out and not interested in her job anymore.  She eventually got reassigned to a different role but was stuck with us as we were somehow grandfathered in with her.  She definitely tried to get us out of the program, with just casual observations and no testing, since that would have revealed a continued delay.  I ended up agreeing to quit the program, simply because working with her had become a waste of our time and I thought a private therapist would yield better results.  But had we simply switched to someone else in Infants and Toddlers, we probably would have had a different result.  So something to keep in mind.[/quote]
