[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question, my 19 month old DS (born at 34 weeks 5 days, spent 11 in nicu) does not point, or wave and only says "uh oh". At 18 month appointment, pediatrician recommended that I get intervention evaluation. I called them (in VA), and they said because DS was born early, I should wait for until he is 21 months for an evaluation if he is still not pointing or words have not increased. [b]Should I have pushed harder for an immediate eval?[/b] After reading this post, I am seriously concerned. Also he does not follow you pointing either. And he screams out a lot. A lot. [/quote] Yes. Call them again and insist on an evaluation, get a referral from the pediatrician if needed. It's so weird they'd pick 21 months out of a hat.[/quote]
