[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not as that's a huge hold back. You are military. You have tricare. Go to the on base developmental ped and they will help you get what you need - OT, PT, ST and/or ABA.  Get your child help vs.holdback. He will be more than 9 months as the cut off is 9/1 in less you test in so kids will be significantly younger.  Our experience is that our child acted much younger with younger kids and did better being the youngest vs. the oldest.[/quote]

Did you post this just to prove your knowledge of Tricare insurances? We have obviously been getting him help.  [/quote]

Wow, OP.  PP was just trying to help, but you've proven incredibly ungrateful and I have the feeling you've already decided and you just want people to pat you on the back.  You should ask Jeff to delete this thread, it's useless.[/quote]

I’m not ungrateful just irritated when people post “get him therapy”- like it never occurred to me to get my child help.  I’ve been advocating to get him help since he was two years old and could probably give a seminar on it at this point. [/quote]

You never said that you were or were not getting your child therapies.  A lot of parents don't do therapies outside the school system, even if they have tricare.  Tricare and Medicaid are the only two insurances that are very generous with private therapies.  It makes no sense to hold back a January child.   Some of us have kids with SN and are military and/or faced this as we were close or past the cut off date.

What answer are you looking for?  Yes, plan to hold back your child.  [/quote]

Did you read the title of my thread? It has the question right there.  I’m hoping to hear from people with experience holding back their kids (or who know kids who were held back).  Positive and negative experiences are both informative.  [/quote]
