I think I can help on a few....OT stands for Occupational Therapy. When you see AV it is probably in reference the heart defect called AV Canal defect.

ADD I am guessing is Attention Defecit Disorder. That would be my guess, but I would have to see it used in a sentence.

Hope this helps

OT - Occupational Therapy
ST = Speech Therapy
IEP = Individual Education Plan (plan of therapies, goals, objectives, etc. decided on by parents, therapist & school district on an annual basis)
ENT - Ear nose & throat doctor
GI = Gastro Intestinal doctor
OCD = Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
ADD = Attention Deficit Disorder
VSD = Ventricular Septal Defect (heart problem)
AVSD = Atrioventricular Septal Defect (heart problem)
SMO = supramalleolar orthosis (braces for helping with standing & walking)
AFO = ankle-foot orthosis (braces for helping with standing & walking)


I'm sure there are others but this is all I can think of right now

AV canal Is when they have ASD and VSD together. Then there is one big floopy valve instead of two.

ADHD - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
PDD - Pervasive Developmental Disorder (This is the family of autistic spectrum disorders)
PDD-NOS - Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (This is a diagnosis that says that the child has PDD but it is not possible to determine the specific form of PDD because the full features for autism or another explicitly defined PDD are not met.)

there is another thread going on at the same time. LOL

DH is Dear (or whatever word you want to start with "D") Husband.

YAY is not an acronym, but the word yay (which is really spelled "yeah", but online you'll often see "yay" instead.)

Here's a link to common acronyms.
