Comments on: Mousie talks http://mothergoosemouse.com/2007/06/25/mousie-talks/ A first-grader destined for a career as a lawyer, a pre-schooler whose screams can shatter glass, a bouncing baby boy who evaded an IUD, a man who can drink his weight in Natty Light, and a woman who has long since given up caring about the condition of her kitchen floor.

And the same assessment?! I'm failing miserably at shortening my sentences, but it is all about the modelling. Hey, that’s the same therapy we’re doing! And the same assessment?!

I'm glad you feel relief at knowing how to approach this and at getting her therapy. Good luck! It’s a mixed bag when you get a diagnosis.

Little J tested in the bottom 9% on his speech eval. We did Birth to 3 speech therapy for a year (went through numerous therapists - but that's another whole story) and now the kid is talking in paragraphs. A lot. To be honest, I don't think the therapy had much to do with it...I think it was just a developmental thing that had to click. It's hard not to worry, so I won't tell you not to, but kids have a way of doing it when they are ready. Hang in there! Just a year ago I was right where you are now.

Hearing that yes, there was a problem and we know how to help was magic to my ears. Julie, we’ve done therapy for a while now.

I'm in the same situation myself and am waiting to speak with the pediatrician at Baby's 2 year checkup about meeting with someone to evaluate him. Part of me thinks it's environmental (being the youngest of 3) while part of me doesn't want to hold him back from getting the help he (may) need.

It was a relief for someone to say, "yes, there is a problem and here is how we fix it!" He did speech therapy for one summer session and then once a month for about a year. At four and a half, he is talking circles around kids his age...I do sometimes long for those days of babbling instead of the constant "why, how, can we's" that we have today!

It doesn't make it any less real if I don't write about it, but I'm still resisting somehow... ;-) But really, the news for us is all good. Rosie's thrived with therapy, and we are all relieved that she can communicate much better. I hope you have the same outcome with CJ. I still have had trouble putting Rosie’s whole story in words.
