[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. To be clear, it's not that the speech person diagnosed low tone- in fact, she was very clear to say she wasn't a PT. BUT, she did refer us to a PT.

And, the PT today said yes, she thinks she does have low tone, although she didn't make it sound like it was ahuge deal. She DID say that our daughter is at about 10 months (vs. 12 months) of development physically. Again, that seems strange to me as I hadn't noticed that, but...

My main fear at this point is that I had concerns already and now they are telling me she has another problem I hadnt even considered. ...[/quote]

I think the fact that you have concerns is a good enough reason to go see a developmental pediatrician (regardless of what the speech therapist and PT said). My pediatrician told me that in his experience when mothers feel that something wrong, they are usually right. Nobody knows your kid as well as you do and if you feel in your gut that something is wrong, you are probably right. When I told my general pediatrician I was concerned about the development of my son, he said he would refer me to a development pediatrician, even though he felt my kid was ok, b/c in his experience each time he had a mother tell him that, each time the mother ended up being right. My son ended up beign diagnosed with an ASD by the developmental pediatrician (and 2 general pediatricians had told me that he was fine before that).[/quote]
