Well, Andy was in a research study that followed him through almost two years and the study showed regression which is frustrating.
He has been through a lot of changes
such as:
Grandma passing (his main child care caretaker)
Moving
Starting School five days a week
He went from testing from about 26 months to at 18 months old. . . we are going backwards not forward -- this is a private research study assessment
wakes up a lot and wants to sleep with me now. . .
we are all adjusting ---- life is not at all the same from four months ago. . .
I'm learning to stand on my own and my little guy is falling more and more into his own world.
I should get the schools back in about a week
I am so sorry things are not going good...hang in their! I hope you get some answers from the researchers about why their is regression. Good luck with everything.I hope things will adjust after you find your stride again. I'm so sorry to
her about your mom (MIL?) passing too. Your son is negatively affected by
the changes in environment which means that when things will calm
down and you find a routine he will be positively affected as well.
My son had a rough year in school last year and I did not see him make
any progress, in some ways he regressed. We found him a different
program and he seems to be ready and safe to make progress again.
hang in there.I also hope that you will see some progress soon as things settle down. That is a lot of change (for everyone) in a short time period. (((((Hugs)))))My son regresses when he is under stress or anxiety. With all you've been through, it's no wonder.
It's hard to know when to draw the line with our kids. They get a "rule set" and then it is so hard to break. Slowly you will get it back together. Keep the faith.
I'm so sorry to hear that your son seems to be regressing. I remember you posting about the death of your mother, and I hope you've been able to find some support and comfort in these difficult months.
Do you notice the regression, too? Or do you think your son is mostly performing more poorly in a testing situation? Is the regression more pronounced in a certain area?
I read today that a temporary regression in the functional use of language can happen when a child cuts back on echolalia and his spontaneous language hasn't quite caught up yet.
I hope the regression you're seeing is temporary.
Good luck with everything.
