[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve noticed close friend DC is showing signs of delayed growth. To give examples, not speaking, constant tantrums, unable to follow direction or responds to name. I feel extremely bad for friend and DC because I’d like for the to have some sort of early intervention with speech therapy. I’m just not sure how to respectfully mention it. [/quote] If it's a close friend, suggest they have county infant toddler give evaluation. It includes, but is not limited to, speech therapy and it's free. Services and all. It really might include BT, OT but you can leave that part out.[/quote] What county are you in? Early Intervention (at least in Fairfax County) is NOT free unless you are low-income or they can work on a sliding scale depending on your income. We are working with EI now in Fairfax County and they are charging our insurance (we pay the co-pay, $55). The assessments and coordination is free, but not the therapy. [/quote]
