I started this blog about what my son has gone through since we noticed he was speech delayed. In July of 2011 we finally had some answers and he was diagnosed with Autism. It talks about the testing, struggles and progress he makes. My hope for this blog is to help other parents through the stages and struggles that occur when having a child(ren) with special needs.

Preparing for neurologist
We spent last week working with the speech therapist and having an mini evaluation done trough EI. I want to have everything together when we go to the neurologist. The upside to all this week is that I actually got to see on paper the improvement Cole has made with EI. So something to think about: When preparing for multiply doctors have a binder together. I made up different tabs that have all of his evaluations, all his EI notes and any information I have like supplements. Having all his information in one spot helps when going to Cole's different appointments. I am hoping out of this evaluation to get either a diagnoses or a unofficial diagnoses. I want to make sure he is receiving the best that he can with his therapy. I also plan to plead Cole's case to his speech therapist through EI to try and get her in more then once a month. I am sure that if Cole has made the milestones that he needs that we will get them in more. As far as his new speech therapist I am out on a verdict with her. I am going to give her a little more time. So I hope that this next week we will have come a full circle and have answers to why Cole is struggling to talk.
