I believe that early intervention for speech and language delays (and sensory integration problems) should be the norm for international adoptees.<br /> <br /> Sadly, even the EI folks will often take a "wait and see" attitude when faced with a newly adopted child, stating that until the child has time to "adjust" to their new home, surroundings, language, culture, it's hard to "label" their delay as a problem.<br /> <br /> Since they won't "label" the child is missing a critical window of intervention. SIGH! I agree with all you said. I believe that early intervention for speech and language delays (and sensory integration problems) should be the norm for international adoptees.

Sadly, even the EI folks will often take a “wait and see” attitude when faced with a newly adopted child, stating that until the child has time to “adjust” to their new home, surroundings, language, culture, it’s hard to “label” their delay as a problem.

Since they won’t “label” the child is missing a critical window of intervention. SIGH!
