Thanks for your feedback. Many speech therapists offer support groups for parents and have problems getting attendance. I find that baffling. And yet, I do think parents are shoved to the side with so many aspects of their children's upbringing -- sort of a societal attitude that I think needs to change. I hear from parents all the time as to how uncomfortable they are made to feel by teachers, early childhood educators, doctors, etc... when they try to have a meaningful role in what's going on with their kids, -- they should leave it all to the experts. As you can see, I have an opinion about why parents aren't too motivated. I'll get off my soapbox now :-) Best of luck to you and thanks again for listening! Dori
