Little Man's results
So I had him at KidsAbility today and he was very well-behaved and the skivvy is:


1. I have to get our family DR to get me a referral to a pedatrician (sp?)

2. They think he has more than just a speech-devlopment issue

3. Little Man has to have a full hearing test (Nov 8th)

4. We're on a waiting list for a program through KidsAbility that might be able to take us on in Jan

5. They want to rule out autism, though it is a possibility

6. His issues may just be indicative of a learning disability and/or hearing probs

Could Little Man's freakouts be night terrors?
I've bolded what he does...

The following are signs that a child may have some type of sleep disorder, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
