OP, I don't have any specific advice but wanted to offer encouragement. My DS was the same age and had similar lack of communication/gestures several months ago. He also didn't have any words. We've been doing speech for 1 month and I'm already seeing improvement. Pointing, a couple signs, waving. He has started saying "mmmm" for more. I'm really happy with his progress. 
Like you, I was doing a ton at home and honestly the professionals aren't doing anything different than what I do, BUT there is something about having this new exciting person demonstrating everything that really engages my son. EI has made a big impact.

So have hope! You're just getting started. And kudos to you for jumping on this early! I've had criticism from others that my son is too young and that I should "chill", but early intervention is the way to go. My son will hopefully have overcome his communication delays before his social development kicks in. I'm grateful we didn't wait. [/quote]

Thank you - it really does give me a lot of hope reading about your son's strides with the EI services!  I often feel like I'm not doing enough at home, simply because I don't know what to do that would be more effective.  I am really hoping that the EI services will give me strategies that I can use to hopefully do a better job of helping my son to learn some of those skills.

I, too, am glad we are getting some help now rather than waiting.  I may seem crazy to others, but I have known there are issues, and as DS's mom I feel like it's my job to do the best I can to help him - no matter what anyone else thinks.

Thank you again.[/quote]
