Thanks to all who replied! Great info!!!

I read the childrens' profile to our social worker today, and she agreed that weekly therapy (physical, occupational, and speech) indicates profound delays (developmental or otherwise).

But she gave me a lot of questions to ask their caseworker if we make it beyond the preliminary review of homestudies, such as:

1. Has their IQ been tested to determine the IEP? (or a similar test)

2. What is their level of developmental functioning (low or average compared to chronological age)?

3. What are their limitations (she said to get specifics)?

And just like you suggested, 4. Are they making any progress in their therapeutic services?

Note: They've been in foster care for just one year (were removed from home at age 4 (they're twins--in kindergarten this year) due to abuse and neglect, so perhaps the state is playing catch up to get these kids on track. Or, perhaps as previously posted, they are not progressing at all.

I'll certainly let you all know what I find out.

Thanks again!
