[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably not an issue, but pay attention to milestones. DS had missed a few by his 9 mos check up (couldn't pull himself to upright, couldn't roll over), and I made a big deal about getting him evaluated. I also self referred to EIP. Turns out he was delayed enough to qualify for PT services, and now he really has no obvious delays at 4.5 y.o.

A lot of pediatricians will take a wait-and-see approach, but I also took DS to a development specialist who told me it was really good that I was paying attention and got him evaluated. Super early intervention can be really effective. I'm not saying this to worry you, as I said, DS is totally on schedule now. But I do think getting him PT very early made a big difference in getting him on track. If you are still seeing late milestones in a few months, there is no harm in self-referring for an EIP evaluation. I'm so glad I did.[/quote]

alternatively... if there is no delay or difference by 4.5, probably they would have caught up without PT. DCD/low tone are not really issues kids grow out of. OT was fabulous for my DS (who rolled very late) but he will always have motor planning/motor skills issues. The point of EI is to keep the delays from compounding. [/quote]
