One is a military mom living out of the country who needs help for working with her child at home and determining what services she should pursue for him.

We’ll also be hearing from a mom who is concerned about her 3 year old son and who is on the fence deciding if she wants diagnostic testing for him. We’ll weigh the  pros and cons of getting additional opinions and diagnoses for a child who is already progressing and receiving what she feels are quality services. We’ll talk about her questions about ruling out autism and her additional concerns with echolalia and teaching him to answer questions.

We’d also LOVE to take your questions LIVE! The call in # is 1-718-766-4332, and we’d love to hear from you!

Here’s the reason I do this job…

“Hi! It’s Michelle and you sent me your package of DVDs, and I just have to take a moment to kiss your feet! They are fantabulous!!!! I stayed up till one am watching the first DVD Teach Me to Talk, and by 6 am my little four year old was up and ready to play. I pulled out her new Christmas toy “Animal Hospital” (based on your recomendations in a podcast) and got to work right away. KATY SAID THREE NEW WORDS IN JUST HALF AN HOUR!!!! You gotta remember- Katy is non verbal, so this was HUGE!!!! She said “ball,” “yeah” and “Okay” in a perfectly intelligible way!!!!!

So, I just wanted to say…

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank youThank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you

Thank you!!!” - Michelle H., Texas
——————————————————————————————-
THANK YOU MICHELLE!!! Keep up the good work with Katy and let us know how she continues to progress!

Thanks to the dozens of you who have sent me emails and comments to alert me to this problem.

Since I’m not a computer programmer, I have to contact our great person, who then has to perform the fix, all while trying to enjoy the holidays with her own family.

Thanks for being so patient and understanding during this frustrating time for all of us as we continue to look for a way to permanently solve this problem.

Until then might I suggest that you bookmark the site in your computer from a category page, rather than the home page, so then you’ll be able to return to the site and browse articles from the specific category page. If you’re not sure how to do this, click on this link which goes to the expressive language category, and then add this page to your favorites.

Thanks again for your patience!!! Laura
