[quote=Anonymous]Sending good thoughts your way, OP.

If you live in VA, your kiddo will very likely qualify as eligible for preschool special education services. You would go through your local school district's Child Find office to set up a meeting to discuss evaluations. Request a full eval (Developmental, Speech, OT, PT) to get the process rolling. Once your child is found eligible, you would have an IEP meeting. To help meet your child's needs, your child may receive related services, such as speech, OT, and PT at school. If this is what your child needs, advocate for those goals and services from the start. It is a long process, so you could start it when your child is close to 2.

You could still pursue outside private therapies, too if you wish. Just sharing  potential options.

Good luck with your choices about the MRI and genetic testing. As others have said, answers gleaned from those may not change the course of treatment. However, the info may give you more leverage with schools and insurance companies to provide more therapy. [/quote]
