Help me understand these eval results?

[Ameena]

These are for a friends little girl age almost 5, that I will be hsing for pre-k this fall. She is not up to speed with speech - she talks about like a 2.5 year old or maybe 3 year old at most. She has issues with saying the R sound. and behaviorally she is about 2-3 yo, but very sweet. My bet was on a hearing issue - not full hearing loss but some hearing loss, and maybe some behavior delays.

 

After I convinced her dad to get her evaluated to see what is going on, they came out and did and quick evaluation on her a few days ago, and the results given to the Mom were:

 

 

Receptive is at 72 = moderate delay

Expressively at 66

Sounds (artic) =85 within normal limits

Possible A.D.D

 

They are supposed to follow up with hearing testing and a referral for ADD testing. She is to start receiving services in May for the delays.

 

And what would you do for hsing with this info?

Could also be APD (auditory Processing Disorder) with or without a co-morbidity of ADD.

It is great she will receive services.

 

For homeschooling, I would use the Developing the Early Learner Series.

Use Earobics and some other phonemic awareness exercises.

 

I would ask for a full eval...OT,SLP, Psychological and educational.

With a low receptive score, artic problems, and ADD, I would for sure get an eval for APD (not the same as a hearing test). The speech pathologist can screen her for it.
