Love the beautiful fall colors everyone. Jen - Colin is 2 1/2 years old. We started with a new speech therapist today and she is very good. Within a few minutes she had him analized - he can name some objects but his functional language is very poor (doesn't really have any) and articulation is very poor due to his not looking at you when you are talking. He babbles unintelligible sounds continuously but is not talking to others, just himself or his toys. She gave us some really good advice for the doctor appointment next week. She also gave us skills to work on - sign language and words for "more", "help", "please", and "open". I was able to get him to ask with words and signs for more pieces of apple at lunch today - so exciting when it happens but then again it is not consistent. He seems to be excited also when he connects with people but then he will go back into his own little world. Pic is at the beach on Martha's Vineyard. Eleanor
