[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for all the support.

DS still doesn’t react to his name, but we have b’s and d’s in the arsenal now (ba, da). It’s not really babbling, but it’s something.

We ended up working with Strong Start. We’re not used to using government services - even going to DC public schools for our older son was something of a controversy in the house - we seriously considered a bunch of private schools for him.

We had the intake interview and it went well! They validated our concerns and suggested evaluations and next steps. Glad to know DC government is doing its job.

Glad to hear it is working.

FYI - government services include a wide range of things like roads, trash and recycling, food safety,.the National Weather Service,.and so many other things. Pretty much everyone uses government services in one way or another. There is truly no shame in it. [/quote]

Yeah there was no reason to say that about "government services" OP that's gross. Get over yourself. No one cares if your precious snowflake goes to DCPS [/quote]

government services are for the poors unless you’re concerned that Larlito is 4 weeks behind on consonant babbling. [/quote]

I was pretty sympathetic to OP until she dropped in the comments about the government services.  I mean, her pediatrician suggested seeking treatment.

But based on OP's comment, my guess is OP is a high anxiety sahm who is seeing problems where none exist, is escalating the issue with the pediatrician, and pediatrician finally relented and was like "if you want to call a ST, there's no harm".  Because any pediatrician worth anything would know that the first step is doing a hearing test.  So if this was all driven by the pediatrician, they would have recommended hearing test first. That the pediatrician recommended a ST first suggests to me that they're just going along with OP.  [/quote]
