DS just got diagnosed with... get this...
An "Insignificant expressive language delay"
Wait for it:
They recommended treatment.
Am I pushing on the wrong side of the door or what? What do I DO with THAT? I totally don't want to subject him to the treatment, just the assessment got DS pulling some of my old tricks on the assessors. They were a little shocked by his receptive language skills, and were a bit confused about how to answer the question I raised about lowering the level of my speech to him _below_ the level of his comprehension in order to help him learn language. But they admitted it might be a problem.
Did I mention that they wouldn't even give me a clear answer about what the treatment would consist of? (beyond that they would be telling me to "make eye contact, use no sentance over 3 words, and hold toys up near your mouth while you talk"
Ok, I'm making it sound worse than it was. A bit.
But.
Uh.
Hello: "Insignificant" ?
I'm sure there's something I do that causes these things to happen............... Gah!
