Well, see, that's what amazed me, because I consider myself the same
(witness the many disagreements with school boards and evaluators who did
not care to be told that Tomek wasn't paying attention to them because they
were boring). Tomek's been in speech therapy for over two years; his speech
delay was noticed at 18 months, and we've followed all the avenues we knew
of. Apparently I lack experience of other avenues.
