[quote=Anonymous]i think your kid is too young to see the results you are expecting. i 100% felt like you when my twin boys were that age. we started with i&T at 18 months and did the hanen class someone else mentioned. then at age 2 they started with the st. she spent 6 months teaching them to sign the word more. i felt like she was a huge waste. we were just about to request a new st when she announced she was leaving and we would be getting a new one. and we really liked her. my boys speech didnt really kick in for them until age 3 and 3 1/2. by age 4 1/2 one of mine didnt qualify on the restest. he is still delayed but not enough delayed. my other still qualifies at age 6. we have started private for both because frankly my delayed one needs more than he is getting at school and my other one needs to improve for my delayed one to also improve (no other kids so they talk to each other and pick up on each others problem speech). my advice is to stick with it because he qualifies. if you stop and he still needs it later you might have a harder time qualifying. and since you know the county isnt going to pay for your gymboree classes you might as well take advantage of the services you are being offered. also speech in the house was always nonproductive. much better when they received it at preschool. less distractions.[/quote]
