Jake had his EI evaluation today (long)
I thought it was just going to be a speech eval. but it ended up being a full EI eval. He scored low on the speech part, and actually scored lower on the receptive language than on the spoken language, which I didn't expect. He also scored low on adaptive skills. Good news is social skills, gross motor skills and fine motor skills are perfectly on target.
They think his language issues may be due to a hearing problem, which may be something as simple as fluid in the ears. We have his well-check scheduled for tomorrow am, so I can discuss that with the pedi tomorrow, we may need to see an ENT first to rule out fluid in the inner ears, and then after that we have to go to a hearing specialist and do a hearing test.
There is also a possibility that he has a vision problem since he doesn't do much pointing, so we have to schedule a vision screen also.
So as of now, Jake is enrolled in the Early Intervention program through the board of DD, we are going to be having weekly meetings with an EI specialist who will be working with us and he is on the waiting list to get in to see the speech therapist through the board of DD (we have to pay if we go anywhere else and our insurance does not cover it). He also has to have further evaluation to check for a possible sensory issue since he has one or two "red flags", if that evaluation comes up with issues then we would also be seeing an occupational therapist once a week. After reading up on sensory disorders I really don't think he has one though.
At this point I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed

Our baby girl!!
I didn't realize how in depth they are! It's nice at least to get a good picture of what's happening.
