[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 331848, member: 2322"] I understand your frustration. I do think the developmental specialist is the way to go. We got good info from our referral to one when our son was young for FASD issues. I think there are things you can do in the meantime, especially because if it is FASD they can only treat the manifestations. Look into your county's early intervention program. They were the ones that got my son speech therapy after he was evaluated by pediatrician. It was free. They do their own evaluation and you don't need the a referral from the pediatrician. Really the only things you can do for FASD is to have a very rich cognitive environment, good parenting, medications to deal with extreme rages etc, and therapy to address any developmental concerns (speech, occupational etc). So try to address what you see now as the obvious lags--don't worry about the diagnosis--and you will be doing what you can. [/QUOTE]
