Agree tiamat--you get my son in the right mood and you can find out just how many words he knows, but he will not use any of them in expressive language and still screams and uses body language to assert himself. Many of these children are very bright and probably have access in their heads to just as many words as their "normal" counterparts, but they just can't bridge that gap to expressive communication.

I feel for you.

Caitlin used to scream. Made for WONDERFUL gettogethers with the in-laws, let me tell you.

And people will say "discipline problem" or "it's the mother's fault".

I tell people to think of Caitlin as an "English as a Second Language " person, because it really Is a language problem.

It helps.
