Great to meet you! I'm glad you found us!

My older son hit every one of his milestones late, except maybe sitting. We all just thought he was a late bloomer since he was born at 36 weeks. I had seen my nephew not be able to communicate his needs to his parents and have complete meltdowns because of it (he's 2 years older than my son and I still think he has SPD but SIL refused to consider it). I thought it was a normal thing for a boy. I had heard about sign language for babies so decided to try it. I started signing with him at 11 months and he started signing back a little after his 1st birthday. He used about 25 signs and words by the time he was 2 or so. He would say "mo" as he signed "more." It worked quite well until he could talk better.

I understand about potty training! I wish I'd known about his SPD when we were trying to potty train him. He just had no clue about it and I was utterly frustrated.

That's great that you got him services early. He'll definitely benefit from that. My older son was diagnosed in 1st grade and has come a long way. His Ped tried to tell me that SPD wasn't a stand-alone diagnosed then, but he has since changed his mind.

Welcome!
