[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.

Why so snobbish about using public services?[/quote]

Maybe it’s not a knock on government services. Maybe she just feels guilty using services that could be offered to others.

When I lived abroad, it took me a while to get used to services offered to support families. I supported the government offering those services to everyone and hope the US does the same for all families here someday. But I did have guilt about accepting those services at first, not because I looked down on them, but because I’m used to the American system where support for families is limited.[/quote]
