[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have two kids with delays. Both did private OT for years. One did private speech for one year. Despite all the hard work, they still have fine motor delays and other motor planning challenges. Neither one of my kids qualified for Early Intervention. If your child qualifies, she is VERY delayed. You should take the therapy.[/quote] This really depends on the area and evaluator. Some evaluators will qualify ANY child, usually based on something totally different from the original concern. I've worked in the system, but not in DC area. I'm always amazed when people say it's very difficult to qualify for EI, but it guess that's the case in some areas. What does your ped think about the identified "delay," OP? Also, a child younger than 10 months not crawling is not a delay - strange that you would be referred for that? Does your DD not pick up finger foods at all and is that the only issue?[/quote]
