Thanks Reggio, the boy is 4 and SHOULD have gone to school in Sept but he is not toilet trained at all and his communication skills are delayed. He has been with me over a year after being in a centre, where Mom said he wasn't doing well . It has taken about 6 mths for Mom and Dad to realize that he does in fact have a delay and now finally they are acting on it. He is not a BAD kid, just challenging at times due to his inability to carry on a conversation. He tends to throw temper tantrums when he doesn't want to do something and will throw himself on the ground or hit himself in the face and head when he is angry. He has a very hard time staying still and he will only play with toys that have sounds although I have been working on this by bringing out non-musical, non-talking toys and not allowing him to stray from that activity. I almost feel like I have failed him because after a year there has been very little progress, although his speech has improved somewhat, he can put his own coat and shoes on now but still struggles with other self dressing at times (he consistently puts both feet in the same leg of his pull up, pants or splash pants). Anyway, I guess I will hold off advertising until I know when he is leaving for sure.
