I was able to get an appt. with an "Early Steps" program to have him evaluated THIS month on the 24th! I'm happy about that. He is still on the waiting list at Miami Children's in their Speech Pathology dept. aswell. This is only for the evaluation, from what I gather, they don't do therapy. We'll cross that bridge when/if we get to that though.

I hope the appointment goes well Sara! Please let us know how it goes!

Glad you got in fairly quick!

That's awesome news, Sara! I'll look forward to hearing how it goes!

That's the first step. I'm anxious to hear what you find out.

I'm glad he's going to be evaluated soon (instead of remaining on the waitlist at MCH). I'll be anxious to hear what you find out. *crosses fingers*

Thanks for updating us, Sara. How nice that they got you in this month! Let us know how it goes.

:hug:

Wow, Sara! That's great they were able to get Zac in this month. Make sure you update us after his evaluation.

Gosh, the 24th isn't that far away. Good luck and don't forget to update on how he goes...

I live in South Florida too....to make a long story short, Florida is finally changing the way EIP is administered in order to meet with federal guidelines. I hear Miami-Dade's program is having some difficulty switching to the new model. (Apparently, most counties are). I hope you are able to get some answers from them though. Our program (Palm Beach County) seemed to be doing okay in the beginning, until it became clear that Tucker needs more intensive "therapy". Now we are absolutely not satisfied with it and having to fight the system--which is a major pain!

This is a good website to look at regarding some of the stuff that has been going on in Flroida. http://fddc.org/HOME/index.asp

The sooner the better has been my experience. Glad to hear it is SOONER for Zac. Good job, Mommy!

Great news Sara! I hope it goes well for you!

I'm looking forward to the results from this appt, amazing you got in so soon.
