My sister's ds with apraxia can say a word perfectly, and then totally different the next time he says it. It's a tough road, but with excellent outcomes with therapy. I agree with you - what is the harm of an evaluation? There is harm in waiting, however, if there is a problem. Why wait and see? It's crazy. Even my sister's DH didn't want to have his kids evaluated. I'd hate to see where they'd be now if they waited.
AMEN!!!! There IS harm in waiting. No one ever wants to believe there might be something wrong with their child but it is best to error on the side of getting the child early intervention than to not to seek help at all. My daughter has autism, I speak from experience. And guess who noticed the delays and signs first?? OUR DAYCARE PROVIDER AND FRIEND!!!!! Thank God she did.
