My son was evaluated today by the ECI (early childhood intervention) today. So much paperwork. I have been concerned about Kyle's development since he seems to lag behind on a few things. After going through mounds of paperwork and them asking us a ton of questions turns out he is in alot of gray area for his age group and in the 18 month old category he scored low on fine motor skills, speech and socialization but normal on gross motor skills. On Monday she is coming back with a speech specialst and a occupational therapist to come out and interact with kyle to decide an intervention plan. Today she really didn't do much with him...just observed him while asking us questions. She is concerned about his speech and motor skills but thinks he isn't talking yet because of all the ear infections he had (he now has tubes in his ears) and thinks that may be the reason for the lag. We will know more on Monday.

why is he being tested for 18 months old when he is 21 months?
I wish you guys luck! I think he did wonderful with Alexander when they played.

That is great news! I am glad to hear that. So does that mean that they don't think that he is autistic?
