thanks for the input lil.
Putting off school is something we are obviously considering because as you point out, he will be expected to keep up with the standards, no matter how stupid I and many others may think some of those standards are. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it, but I can definitely say we will at least let him try. There is a no harm/no foul option here after one month.
It's at school-age (aka five) here that they must notify schools of any developmental deficiencies. At least that's what they tell me. We can get also get speech and no OT, or vice versa if we want it – again, this is what they tell me. He will get re-evaled every 6 months to one year, depending on recommendations. I totally agree that therapy helps - his speech therapy certainly hasn't hurt his speech so far, but what I've consented to is dragging us into muddy waters.
