Hi! My 13-month old is not yet standing or walking. Anyone know if he'd qualify for Physical Therapy through EI? at what age would he get therapy for not walking? Thanks!

I don't know the answer to your question, but 13 months old is not at all late for walking. Most of my children weren't walking on their own yet by then, although they were furniture walking for a while by then.

Does he try to pull up? Cruise?

My girl didn't walk till 15 months. What a Bracha.

But she was able to pull up though

My child got approved at 14.5 months for not bearing weight. When you say not standing does that mean pulling herself up or bearing weight.

There is a difference between not walking and not bearing weight. My daughter for approved for not bearing weight at 10 months.
13 months and not standing on his own or when holding on?
Does he pull himself up in the crib? If not then he will get approved
