I get that quiestion, I really do. Are they really making a big deal and telling you it's nothing at the same time! But you are his mother. It may take a village to raise a child, but he is your child to raise. This lady was hired to do a job to help you. If she's not doing it to your satisfaction, or worse, trying to use high pressure tactics rather than trying to help you, how do I say this? You hired her to do a job. If you feel like she's less than satisfactory don't pay her to do what you don't want done in the first place. She should still be in business later if your perspective is wrong and you have to go back. Since it's something you should try to begin correcting early tell her openly that you're concerned, that it is important to you. Tell her that you want to work with her if she thinks it would help your son. Whatever's best for the kid, always. But mention honestly which parts work for you and which parts aren't working for you. Ask her how much she can help you work with him at home, since you spend more time with him all day. About the 3 word sentences, I would almost say add some, give him some. I wouldn't stop what you're doing, just give him a little something extra by giving him the simple sentences she's reccomending a couple times a day. Not to change how you treat him or talk to him, but to add something extra. It will either help or it won't. I don't see it being a hinder, that way. And maybe it teaches him to be a little more flexible in life, not that he's not.
