[quote=Anonymous][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]

Agreed. don't let the state push you around on some random sounding BS, and get an eval as soon as possible. You have to remind them that they work for you, it is ridiculous you have to remind them of this.[/quote]
