LANGUAGE!
My oldest son turned 3 years of age early this year, and at his 3 year checkup the pediatrician was concerned about his verbal development. Generally speaking men in my family are "late bloomers" when it comes to talking as toddlers. So the pediatrician recommended a consult with a child development specialist to evaluate my 3 year old for "normal development."
So my 3 year old was evaluated on 5 areas, from "verbalization" to "shyness" and he failed 3 of 5 categories (the specialist wrote "shyness" next to each failure). This isn't anything I didn't know, but I hoped that the "specialist" would have some sort of advice or resources to assist in teaching my son.
The "specialist" had no resources to give, and this week my wife received in the mail a notice that a committee on child welfare would meet to discuss our "case" at such and such a time and we are welcome to attend.
