that's an option - they are better than his fine motor skills but probably still delayed. It's been a long time since there was a PT evaluation - he stopped receiving PT at 22 months. He was tested then and didn't meet the 20% impairment threshold. But, he may now. He certainly lags in some specific developmental milestones (like being able to hop on one foot, etc.)

Update - We're headed off to the speech therapist. Wish us luck!
I've been told not to jump to conclusions - I think he's not speech delayed but then I compare him to his sister - and I don't really have much more contact with other four year olds, there aren't any in our church and they aren't in preschool. I considered them far above their three year old cousin, but he was just diagnosed with fairly significant delays.
So you never know.
And I can't believe I'm hoping my son will be speech delayed! Posts: 14428 | Registered: Aug 2001

Well, I know he didn't get everything right - as I was listening to the evaluation I was kind of surprised - I guess when you're around a child every day you don't notice the mispronounciations and problems with consonant sounds unless you're really listening for them.
then again, I'm not sure how many of that is age appropriate. I know there are some consonant blends that aren't usually mastered until the child is six. I have no clue which direction it will go. We have another meeting on the 19th, and she will give me all the results then.
Daniel was definitely engaging, she can't complain about not having enough to work with. When she held up a flash card of a car, she asked him what it was and he told her. Then she asked what color it was, and he said "Blue. But my car is white. And my nana's is black. And Daddy has a white truck."
It was something similar to that on every card. I bet this evaluation took her three times longer than most!

At least it's another step on the road to getting Daniel where he needs to be. And it sounds like he had fun!
