[quote=Anonymous]In order to qualify for EI services, a child has to have delays but you can still get them to evaluate your DC! I think it would be prudent to contact them, express concerns about mouth coordination/feeding issues and ask for an evaluation. I'd also be somewhat hesitant to contact the first speech therapist for a re-evaluation. As many of us know, there's a huge range of skills in therapists and the first one you went to may not be a very good one. Also, many of us have experience with knowing/feeling something isn't quite right with our DC and having to see multiple professionals before finding one who can figure out what's going on. (You also see adults having the same experience - you can usually find their stories in the Health Section of the WaPo). At least EI would give you a more comprehensive/global evaluation.[/quote]
