[QUOTE="quietplz, post: 309568, member: 7702"] A bit of an update and more questions, if that is ok. My 16 month old is now almost 19 months. We have had a hearing screen with an audiologist, a feeding evaluation with occupational therapists, and a speech evaluation with speech therapists. We were told that she hears perfectly, has low tone in her mouth and face, has mild oral hypersensitivity, does not understand speech or communication aside from very obvious gestures, and has no meaningful expressive language. The people at the feeding clinic also said that she has obviously low tone in the rest of her body and is double jointed in most joints, but that it is not their place to give recommendations in regards to that since it is not their specialty. She has been placed in speech therapy twice a week. We have exercises to do with her facial muscles and instructions on how to rub the inside of her mouth with a brush and rub her face with a vibrating toy. Yet no one seems to know or be concerned about why she doesn't talk or understand words. What manner of doctor or therapist do we have to see to figure out the why of all this? Also if any one has any other helps or insight, I would love to listen. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
