bettyandbob Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Anyone dealing with this? How do you find a therapist who can diagnose, especially if it is comorbid with something that is known to cause intellectual delays and speech problems. What resources do you have?

staysee34 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 DD10 was recently diagnosed with a Moderate Expressive Language Disorder. As of yet, we have not done anything with it. The whole situation is upsetting actually. I had her evaluated by a SLP through the agency that services her behavioral needs. This was in May. At the meeting to discuss the evaluation, I was told that there were a couple of areas where she showed some issues but it was "nothing major". Overall, she did very well. It was recommended she do ST once a week for 45 minutes through the summer. DD10 refused and because they said is was nothing major, I let it slide. BAD, BAD, BAD MOMMY!!! At the beginning of August, I finally received a copy of the evaluation. It stated that DD10 had a Moderate Expressive Language Disorder and it's recommended she receive ST once a week for 6 months. I have yet to follow up with the therapy. However, I'll be keeping my eye on this thread for recommendations for helpful home tips that I can incorporate into our school day (much like the OT we are still doing from last year, but that's another story).
