[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 16273, member: 3199"] Thanks, he is going to be formally assessed at 30 months. The autism specialist wants to test at 30 because of the language growth between 24-30 months. She is still seeing difficult child 2 and giving us intervention ideas. We also have the ei person come to our home once a month. He is also signed up for the social skills play group and the structured language class through ei. We're just waiting for a sib care spot to open up for easy child. He is also on the waiting list for the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) preschool. The wait is a year long, but they don't take kids until 3 years old. We signed him up at 2 yrs so that by the time the wait is up he'll be at the right age. I hadn't thought of a speech therapist though. I should've. I guess I thought the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) assesment would include speech. We had a conversation yesterday!!!! It went like this (difficult child 1 was turning on a movie): difficult child 2 "Play!!" me "No difficult child 1 is going to hit play." difficult child 2 "Why?" me "Because he has finished eating and you haven't." We've never had a conversation like this before. Normally he is screaming in frustration trying to get me to understand and I'm guessing holding things up and signing trying to hit on the right thing. We're making progress!!! I'm not expecting this everyday, but its nice to see once in a while. [/QUOTE]
