I have a 16month old in foster care with me since she was 2 days old. She shows many of the signs that your 19 month old has. She is linked with MR/DD and Help Me Grow. She has no vocabulary but yells quite loudly. She has not taken any unaided steps because she stands on her toes and has no balance. Her PT says that is because she has poor muscle tone throughout her body. The muscle tone has also affected her ability to feed properly. She is still spoon fed. When she feeds herself, she crams it all in her mouth at once and sometimes gags. She has a very hard time grasping things on her tray also. We have no real diagnosis as yet. She may have to have braces on her legs to assist in learning to walk. I would be very interested in anything you find out about your little one. Maybe if we can share information, we can help each other.
