[quote=Anonymous]we had a regression at age 20 months.  ds repeated words after an adult talked to him, and out of no where he stopped.  we read books about animals, and he was able to identify the noises they made, he stopped that too.  I noticed that at the playground, he will go to the top of the slide, and he will not come down, avoided eye contact with others, he did had it with both parents.  He did not point at things.  He lined up cars.  The regression on language is what worried me.  Our Ped. asked us to take him for a speech eval.  We did, thats where all started, I had no idea of the many areas of language, he had a delay, and he was under 2.  A devel. ped diagnosed him at age 25 months.  We started agressive ABA at home, speech, and OT.  He attended a private preschool with support (Speech), the county program was not a good fit for him, we saw better results with the typical peers.  DS is 8 now, long story short, he still has a speech delay, but otherwise is chatty, funny, smart, and loves to play with friends.  he still receives Speech, OT (helps him organize thoughts and control impulses), and social skills groups.  It has been a long road, but all worth it.  If you are in doubt, def, look for resources, have him evaluated for speech, and OT.

Good luck with everything,     [/quote]
