Well, as it turns out they don't have enough language yet to participate in this research study after all. One of the assistants called and asked me a bunch of questions about how the boys communicate, and she thought we should wait a few months and see if their verbal language takes off. She's going to call back closer to summer and check in.
It's disappointing I think because I felt like this was the boys' chance to do something special and important. There is so much they can't do. I was excited for them to have this experience and be treated like they are special and wonderful. Hopefully they'll be talking more this summer and we'll be able to go.
