o.k.let me try to do this slow...o.k. about 2 weeks ago a teacher evaluated my 21 month old son and she said he was showing some patterns like "sensory problems" well today we did a speech evaluation and they said that he was on a 9-12 month old speech and communication level... he is so sweat and i think he is just like the other kids but then i find out the other kids he is playing with are 12-15 months old...i know temper tantrums are normal, but my DS is getting to the point where i don't know when they are going to happen..he just totally melts, screaming and hollaring and kicking and i don't know if it is because i spoil him or if it is because he can't help it....
when the speech evaluation was going on, i had to tell the lady to kinda slow down a lil because he was getting over welmed, grabbing his ear, putting his head down, looking at me, and all because the lady was trying to play peek-a-boo...
could someone please give some positive input...my DH really doesn't like to hear about it, i just do my job as a mom...it's stressing and very trying...

But you do have to qualify for help.....true problems....i haven't a clue how they decide who "really" needs help but so far ds has been able to get help...And the early intervention crew is absolutely wonderful atleast from the experience so for....
