[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 15667, member: 1697"] I did not mean not to push for an interpretor.I meant in the interim while you were requesting one and while you were asking for one, were you interpreting for your son what was going on and what people were saying so as to reduce his anxety and frustration during that time. Also Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) itself and MR can interfere with communication as well and an interpreter may still have that hurdle to deal with, so having mom help- might be beneficial. The interpreter may have no understanding of this childs level of understanding or frame of mind. Our hearing children can hear what we are asking for, and what is being said...but a non hearing child is relying on body language alone. And in Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), the body language going on before the interpretor arrives could look rather...confusing, intimidating, scary etc. [/QUOTE]
