[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 15 month old doesn’t have any words yet, so his pediatrician referred him for Strong Start, DC’s early intervention services. I got a call from them, and apparently ALL services are over phone or video because of covid, both the evaluation and any treatment.

How is this possibly a good idea? How can you evaluate a 15 month old over video? My kid doesn’t do any screens other than a weekly FaceTime with the grandparents and he just stares at the screen, there’s no engagement there. How on earth could you possibly teach a 15 month old, or even diagnose the issue, over a screen? Plus, at this point, shouldn’t all these people be vaccinated??

Has anyone done this in the past year? Was it actually helpful?

Any insiders know if there’s a timeline for going back to face to face for this? The lady on the phone couldn’t tell me anything. [/quote]

Your 15 month old would be one of the people involved in the eval so not all are vaccinated.

The evals that my 15 month old did, many years ago, mostly consisted of them asking me to try to get him to do something, and then watching and scoring.  I think some of them would have been tricky virtually because we might not have had what they needed, but I think it would have been possible. [/quote]
