[QUOTE="buddy, post: 498417, member: 12886"] Excellent mom. I figured that was what you do since you have said you look out for it with V too. It is really all we can do, in the end label or not as long as we do the right therapies and are consistent. Especially when they are little we are their primary therapists. I love that she is so communicative. That is a big difference between her and V. Yes she (for now) has speech/artic issues but she is really not showing language/social communication issues. by the way, I hope you don't mind we were discussing that! I think it is a wonderful thing about this forum, like an IEP team SHOULD run... we all share our perspectives and then YOU, the expert can see what applies. We really were agreeing anyway, as you pointed out.... the main thing is what you already do, keep an eye out and open for all of it. She is so little and really not that far off the norm yet. Many would not even be working on this like you are but you see her individual frustration and abilities and are working on it with her. It is a beautiful thing to hear about, she is a lucky girl and you are lucky to have her. About V not greeting, acknowledging people... it can seem rude but I learned to let it go as there were so many other issues (in our case that is). But of course we still worked on it during skill building and do you know one of the most stand out moments of my summer last year??? We spent nearly every day at our pool. One day a boy had a visitor join the kids and Q was standing by the gate. I looked up just as I saw him reach out his hand, look the kid in the face and ask his name... honestly they SHOOK HANDS and Q actually greeted him like a MAN not even a kid which would have been fine too! He has had so much therapy to work on those things but in the end it is when we started the horseback riding that something shifted....I wonder if it helps him some how, some way, integrate the skills he is learning into real life. It is some kind of bridge...maybe simply due to the stress relief. But it has to be more than that because sometimes the riding is stressful too. I wish V could get treatment with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) folks, I wonder if he at least should have a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified diagnosis so you can get more supports for him and he can be understood more at school.
