[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm 12:57 from above, just wanted to update this thread since our 15 month check-up yesterday.

After giving us his height and weight, the NP led right into concerns about his development, saying "he failed his gross motor."  I was like, huh? since that statement in and of itself makes no sense.  She went on to explain that since he's not walking yet, he's considered to have "failed" his gross motor on the Ages & Stages questionnaire.  I tried to probe further, since I've never heard not walking at 15 months to be of concern (and I'm a psychologist, so reasonably informed about development).  She just kept defaulting back to the Ages & Stages.  FWIW, I'm still not concerned about him: he actually took a few independent steps over the weekend, and every week brings some new thing he does.  He's super chatty (even if we don't understand most of what he says yet), very curious, social, etc.  We're still debating whether to pursue an EI eval.

Anyway, just wanted to chime in that we received this feedback, accurate or not.  I have a hunch that our regular ped wouldn't have been that concerned, and if she had, would have discussed it with a lot more sensitivity and context.  [/quote]
