[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 521317, member: 3907"] Thanks Buddy and Marg, This has given me some ideas of a few other things I can try. Marg, you make a very good point about a child being cognitively ready. It's hard to tell with Tyrannosaur, because you can tell him something and it seems that he hasn't heard or understood you, but then 2 or 3 weeks later, he will say it back to you word perfect, in the right context. It's difficult to gauge his maturity in that area because a) there's not a lot of output on demand, and b) he's a mischievous little lad (gee, I wonder where he gets THAT from?) I will stay watchful, and I think I'll give difficult child's paediatric therapist and psychiatrist a ring to see whether it's worth taking the Monster Tots in for an informal assessment, if not a full evaluation to start with. Buddy, I will try the social story idea. My child-minder has also worked with young children on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) spectrum so I can coordinate with her too. Thank you so much for your input everyone. I do feel better knowing that I'm seeing something, but that there's something I can do about it. Trinity [/QUOTE]
