Hi MAT team, can anyone say the difference between the preschool severe delay category and developmental delay category under IEP education. In my child IEP ,they just asked me in which category do we want our child to enroll. When asked what’s the difference they said nothing more. So we just took the option of preschool severe delay. But what’s the difference exactly ?? Can anyone from MAT help me out in dis!!

earlier this year my 4 year old son was diagnosed with Aspergers. My understanding is children with Aspergers don't have a speech delay anybody else have this?
Also Anybody else deal with constipation and their children after shots? My son has been dealing with it for about 2 1/2yrs bow and doctors can't seem to find out why.
My son was diagnosed with Aspergers and has always had a speech delay. (I thought the same thing, but I chalked it up to I got him a diagnosis to get the services he needed so I didn't argue the… read more

I live in Northern California and have a 29 month old son. I suspect my son might have ASD.. I called several developmental pediatrician in our area hoping to get an official medical diagnosis done, it seems like i am only able to get appointment after 5 months. I see every other autism websites and other resources stresses on early intervention with therapies, but it seems like the doctors or the systems is not readily available. I feel 5 month is a very long time given his age and that i feel… read more
The regional center in Napa, CA takes about that long too - but they are wonderful and after you get through the process they will help you understand the services. They diagnosed my son at 2 1/2 yrs… read more
My son is overseas and I can't get a formal diagnosis for a few months, so I'm of course sitting here and fretting behind the computer. Here goes... My son is almost 2. Babbles a ton, knows about 4 words (Yeah, Uh-oh, Star) but can say the whole alphabet. When you hand him a toy, he inspects it while rotating it, drops it, does the same rotation again, drops it, etc.... He also spins while looking out the corner of his eyes. My question is.....could there be any explanations for this besides… read more
It can be really difficult with toddlers to figure out the correct diagnosis, so I would just work on the symptoms and not worry about the specific diagnosis at this point. My little one had a… read more
I've googled this question and read the medical answer's which were vague so I was wondering what, as parents, you feel the difference between Aspergers and autism is? Is Aspergers the same as HFA?
Thanks for the responses. That actually makes since about the speech/language delay and makes it a little easier for me to wrap my head around it. Thanks for the feedback!!
And than accuses you of lying to the Dr. For a diagnosis?! Takes him to a family D.O. Who has never seen him before and says "he's fine. Your mother is just crazy"....
To this day, my husband still doesn't believe his 15yr old son has autism, and he was diagnosed at 24 mos. I don't fight him on this, because if I had, I would've lost valuable time. I just went… read more
How can you tell the difference between typical toddler behaviour and mild ASD?
The first sign is lots of crying and tantrum. They cry if you offer to play, offer to go to the playground, to eat, to swing, to walk to the next corner and lay down on the floor a lot. They cry even… read more
