ENDOCRYNOLOGIST
We are back at the Endrocrynologist but this time for a different reason... Zachary's calcium is fine, but now we are having issues with his Vitamin D. Now is he back on medication for this. So we have added yet another doctor to the appointments that got rid of over a year ago.. Hopefully, we can get a handle on this and doesn't lead to any further problems...

It has been a while again since I posted. Zachary has been diagnosed by Casa Colina as High Functioning Autistic. Of course, Regional Center doesn't want to take the report of their own person who does their seminars, they want to waste resources and money and do their own. So we will do it again.
Casa Colina wants Zachary to have Speech Therapy/ Feeding Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy. Trying to figure out a schedule where we can do this. Zachary still has therapy from the school district which is also Speech, Occupational, Language and a Preschool Teacher 5 hours of week. So where do I find the time??? Trying to figure that one out.
Regional Center came over the other day to assess Zachary for Behavioral Therapy. Kids that are autistic need this, of course some that are not autistic do too. My old service coordinator who has no degrees and is not a psychologist tried to tell me Zachary does the things he does because he isn't around other kids. This is a crock... She knows nothing... The Behavioral Therapist assessed Zachary and her assessment was that Zachary needs the therapy that an autistic child would need since Regional Center doesn't think he is Autistic.
I will fight this battle again and again until Zachary gets the therapy he needs.. He is basically 3 years old mentally and some physically. Let me tell you he just started talking in July 2010 and WOW his vocabulary is amazing. It took 2 weeks of his teacher pounding him with Speech and then complete sentences came out... It was truly AMAZING!!!!
