    Yeah, we're of the same mind on the "couldn't hurt" thing.  Do the eval, see what it says.  I feel like I was scrutinizing DS nonstop last night, I couldn't help myself, and I am starting to wonder if his consonant sounds are where they should be.  I understand what he's trying to say, so I can tell he has a good number of words, but maybe his enunciation isn't as clear as you'd expect at his age.  I'm sort of flying blind here, because DD was so the opposite, it's like I don't have firsthand experience with normal.

    STOP. He's 18 months old for Christ's sake! I mean, consonant sounds? Really?

    I don't understand your point?  Kids make consonant sounds.  I listened to DS last night, and started to wonder if he's having trouble with some consonants.  So where is this "STOP. Really?" coming from?
    What I think AF is trying to say is don't make yourself crazy.  :)  Just get through the eval and go from there. 

    Drink some wine, rub some oils on it, and just...be cool.  Don't be all...uncool, man.  ;) 
  • Stop over analyzing the poor child. Be sensible.

    Anecdote:  When we were debating with 6let the pedi asked "Do others understand him."  When we realized others didn't we realized it was worth the evaluation.  He was older then, but I wish his old pedi would have asked more earlier.

    That's kind of what I'm thinking.  It doesn't do him much good if we know what he's saying and no one else does.  I never really thought about it until they said "two words" at the conference, and I was thinking "No way!  Fish, ball, moon, milk, duck, Daddy, Mama, banana, car, teddy, more, bubbles, chalk, done, bye..." etc.  But I don't think DC knows he's saying these things, because they can't understand him.  So we'll see if the SPT can understand him and what he/she thinks.  Maybe it's a motor issue, because he understands what he hears and he "talks," he's just maybe not as clear as other kids his age.

    Part of it is just part of 6let's personality, but he definitely had issues that were worth getting therapy for.  I'm now trying to decide if he should be re-evaluated.  He still doesn't have the "th" sound.

    i wonder if these are the two words that he uses the most.
