Yes I realized that you and the others strongly believe that the bi-bi approach would work for any children but however at the same time I also believe that children should access all tools so that will help determine whether or not it will work for that particular child. Like Cheri said earlier in this thread to wait and see how bi bi educational will do in a couple of years since the program is new which I agree.

I haven't seen many stories yet about how well a child does in the bi-bi program so I'm looking forward learning more about this. smile.
