So I had been a BCPA working with early intervention for about eight years before I had my son.

And so I kind of was very aware of where the developmental milestones were and keeping kind of my own track for that.

What I realized for my son is He – we didn't realize until he was about – he started eating, so he was about six, seven months old.

But he had very, very low oral motor and oral muscle tone, so very specialized in that area.
