I hate it when people say "this is common with Downs" how do they know what is common? Every child is different and I think that if a child has a deficit in one area then it needs to be addressed. I think they are just being lazy. Your child has the potential to progress just like every other child but sometimes they need a little boost and they should be embrasing this instead of road blocking, I sure hope that you can find an outside therapist to help you guys, look until you fing one that works for you

Close Down Syndrome
Sebastians diagnosis was a bit of a surprise at birth -- my AFP had been borderline -- but when I went in for the more intense ultrasound, they ruled out abnormalities and I refused an amnio. I had worked with Downs kids all through high school, so it didn't worry me because I enjoyed them so much. When he was born -- no one could tell right off the bat --it took them several hours to diagnose him -- but when they did it wasn't WHAT they told me that was offensive it was the WAY they told me -- they were so somber and negative and when I accepted it right off the bat they actually told me I was in denial -- the only decent person those first few hours was my OBGYN -- when he found it -- he came in and said he knew the diagnosis and thought that we'd do great and to remember that he was a BABY, not a diagnosis -- Sebastian has not had any major medical issues, so he has been able to progress quite well physically -- it's just his speech (or lack of it) that is the stumbling block and frustrating thing right now he will be 4 May 7th and can only say 3 words - cat, dog and mom -- oh well it will get better....
