[quote=Anonymous]Hi, OP!  So great to hear your update, thanks for resurrecting the thread.  I'm the PP who had the awful 15 month appointment ("he failed his gross motor" etc.).  My son started walking right at 16 months, and now at 16.5 months is getting pretty good at it.  The one thing he still can't do is get to standing on his own, but usually when he falls he finds the nearest thing, pulls up, and is off again.  I shot some great video of him walking at a mall play area a few weeks ago, husband and friends think I should send to the NP we saw at his 15 month check up.

Also, in case it's useful, I consulted a family friend who's a PT shortly after the 15 month appointment.  She wasn't concerned at all about the not walking, and said to consider evaluation if he's 18-20 months, but otherwise, not a big deal.  I also talked about it with my best friend, whose son has autism and related motor deficits.  She was furious at how the NP handled it and told me to trust my instincts rather than rushing to EI.
