Just wanted to say good luck with your little guy. I am an EI teacher and we have had some experience with internationally adopted children. If we had gotten an referral on a little one just home we would probably meet with the parents and do some observation but put off any form of assessment for awhile until your little one is more comfortable. I am impressed that your pediatrician picked up on some red flags at the appt. We seem to have the opposite problem of the doctor saying "don't worry about it..." when the parents feel there is an issue. I know your head is reeling, but know that there are lots of services available for your family and Jesse. I have worked with many children with many types of special needs so feel free to PM me with any questions.
