[QUOTE="frustrated440, post: 97953, member: 4091"] Hello everyone, I havent been on in awhile. This week we had our son's first preschool conference. It went really really well! It was very thorough which I was not expecting all of that! They had a report and knew what shapes, colors, numbers, etc.. that my son knew! They said he is really bright but they said he is not autistic. They did say he is a "sensory kid" but they have seen that before. My son is in a preschool that is half reg. ed. and half Special Education. Both teachers have been doing this for years so I do feel comfortable with their opinions. I asked them if they had any concerns and then I brought up autism and they assured me that he is not. They said he is very social and right where he should be socially. For example they said he loves the other children and is even concerned if one of them cries or coughs and will ask them if they are ok. They said it took awhile for him to get adjusted but now he even sits for carpet time the whole time and only sometimes on an adult's lap. They also said he is very well behaved which really has never been much of a problem at home. He does have a tantrum now and then but it seems pretty typical for his age when we do encounter them. The progress he has made with his language since starting school and having therapy once a week has been amazing. He has been in his therapies for about 2 mos. now and he has been saying all kinds of things he never did before and the echoing is pretty much non-existant now. The Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) said that he is about 6 mos. delayed in his receptive language and 6-12 mos. delayed in his expressive. It sounded huge to me but she said that she sees no reason why he shouldnt catch up very quickly. Both the Occupational Therapist (OT) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) have said he progresses each time they see him. They say he is more tolerable to things and much more easily redirected.
