Em is not adopted I am her birth mother. My husband and i were together when she was born. She was refered by her family doctor to seek testing at special needs preschool because she was very very behind in her speech she knew over 200 words in sign language that her daddy and i taught her but she did not verbalize much. She was tested at 3 1/2 and her delays qualified her for special needs preschool..it was half a day..She was given an IEP to work on these issues. at 4 she went to all day special needs preschool and her speech improved greatly. She also had PT and Occupational Therapist (OT) services bc she could not do tasks like string beads and cutting very well. Her gait was not very good and they said she did not walk normally..? She was a very late walker almost 2 before she walked. At 5 she continued to have her IEP and was in special needs preschool again and did awesome that year. She learned all of her letter numbers colors and could write them well. I thought she was improving wonderfully..She had to be told several times to do simple tasks and two tasks such as go hang up your coat and wash your hands she would do one of them and totally forget the other..The teacher had me test her hearing 4 times this year because when asked to do something it seemed like she would look right through them...Then at 6 she started kindergaten...her teacher would tell me constantly emilee is very distracted she cant hear me...Her hearing was tested 6 times that year all normal with her teacher telling me she must have hearing that comes in goes which is laughable....It was even tested at the Bell School in which that is a school for the deaf with no problems noted...She was in special needs kindergarten. Finally she said i am not allowed to tell you if i suspect your child had a disorder but you really she have her tested for add.
