I wrote earlier that Tomas and Linda are living with us now. We've had some concerns about Tomas's development and on Thursday, a team came out to talk to us. There were 2 really nice women, a speech pathologist and a physical therapist. They talked to T, engaged him in play and observed him and then let us know that he qualifies for services. What that means is that a team will be set up to meet T's needs and will come to the house. The major area of concern is speech development although there are other lags.
Both women noticed something with T's right eye and recommended he see a pediatric opthamologist. They also said he should see a pediatric audiologist to determine the quality of his hearing. We took him for a well check with his pediatrician who examined his eyes and said yes, that's what is needed and that it's a wonderful thing that T will get the services he needs with the Early Intervention Program.
Now there is just one thing. We don't have T's insurance information. We can't get moving with the appointments he needs until we get that information and hopefully we'll get it soon!
