Now, to qualify for Early Intervention, Will had to be 30% behind.  On both occupational and development skills I think he scored out at 21 months (he’s 25 months).  That isn’t enough to qualify for services.  However, like we all thought, he scored at 17 months for his speech which means he’s 32% behind.  He qualified!

Now, we have the fun part.  Since early intervention is a state funded service, I had to literally sign my life away.  Okay, maybe not my whole life but damn it was a lot of papers.  First, they have to send something to my health insurance which they will most likely deny.  This will take 2 weeks.  Then they have to verify Bill’s income to come up with what we will owe monthly (yeah, I wish it was free but it’s not).  Then they can finally set up a therapist.  I am thinking Madison might be in school before this all gets set up.  We’ll have to see.

Needless to say, I am happy.  I am hoping this will help him talk better and more and end a lot of the frustration in our house.
