[quote=Anonymous]OP, I could have written your post about 7 1/2 years ago.  My twin boys (born 32 weeks) 30 days in NICU.  Were both speech delayed according to my one son's Occupational Therapist.  Both were evaluated and qualified for speech therapy.  At the time I was speaking to my boys in my native language and my DH in English, the boys were saying about 10-15 words each at 16 months.   We had to pay out of pocket $25 a kid or something because back then they did it according to your HHI.  My boys were in speech for about 1 year, like you I didn't think they got much out of it. While they were progressing, I thought it was just with time and the interactions they were getting through playgroups and activities.   I didn't like the therapist as she scolded me every time she came saying "if only you would speak one language to the boys it would make my job so much easier."  The boys started pre-K at 2 1/2 I spoke to their teachers and both teachers said they were fine and that I could stop ST, best news I'd heard, so I did.  They are now both doing extremely well in school and advanced.

Good luck to you and maybe you can take a couple of weeks off and see how it goes.  [/quote]
