[QUOTE="quietplz, post: 293013, member: 7702"] Thank you for your replies and welcome. I have a few more questions if you would not mind. We are getting referrals for a hearing screen and a speech evaluation, but what is a developmental pediatrician as opposed to a regular one? We may be getting an evaluation from an occupational therapist as well. She still has a tongue thrust when she eats and chokes and coughs frequently. The doctor said if the speech person couldn't help her with it, then she would have to see the occupational therapist. She also walks funny in my opinion, would this type of therapist help with that? Who would help her respond to social cues from other people besides me? She does not line things up in play. She does not play with individual items except to put them into something else and then dump out. My spouse feels that since the doctor is not concerned that we should not be and that she will just do things on her own time frame. Is there any way to prove once and for all that a child is different in a certain way, as opposed to guessing based on a checklist? Thank you for your help. I always knew that my eldest was different, but it feels funny to worried more about the little one. [/QUOTE]
