conversation? I assume that the articulation still needs work but I am curious as to her language skills in general. Also, as far as the diet what i meant to say it won't harm her. If it is PDD socialization is the normal key. You want to have her out and about as much as possible which I know you do anyway. Is she only going 1 day a week? You definitly want more time if the doctor recommends it.

Her articulation is ok when she slows down... but she tends to talk fast (like her mom, I guess she's a typical New Yorker!). But her conversation is rough, that was a big thing that made me want to re-evaluate. It's improving but behind where she should be. She goes to school now 5 days a week, but only for 2.5 hours a day. Fingers crossed on the after school program, I think they're gonna cut thru some red tape for us, and let her start next week! We still have to figure out financially what we will pay since it's on a sliding scale, but I know I want her there, and the top dollar is not horrible (though I know we'll be somewhere at the bottom anyway!). I know it will help a lot!
And she really loves all of her new gluten free/caesin free stuff! YAY!
