After all the evaluations TEIS did, they recommended several therapies, in home development therapy, OT therapy, until she turned two. Then we would have other therapies available to us. - She progress very slowly, She started walking at 18 months. It was amazing really she just decided I guess to pull up on bed and turned and walked to me. It was awesome, got that on video! YES. She was still not talking at 18 months. We were busy doing therapies and playing at home.
You know you really don't know how your child is progressing till you decided to do play dates with typical developing children. It was so very hard for me, Abbie could have cared less. She didn't interact with the other children, she didn't even look at them, or acknowledge they were in the room. I saw the other children going to their parents asking for things, wanting things, crying if they didn't get the item they wanted. And Abbie just sat there playing with her own toys and then would get up and run down the hall and back, laughing and just in her own little world. That was hard to realized that yes your child is delayed and maybe something else. No one can really understand what that feels like unless you have had it happen to you, especially if your children have grown and are typical.
