philda62 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 This morning my dd became very frustrated while we were doing history. As I asked her questions she said, "I can see the answer but I can't get it out". I asked her if she saw a picture and could she draw it. She said no. Do you see letters? How do you see it? "I don't know. It is in the back of my head and I can't get it out! I don't know how to get it out!" Help! Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? She was diagnosed when she was younger with a "Receptive Language Disorder". However, now she is expressing an "Expressive" language disorder. I don't even know where to go from here. Any ideas? Anyone? Gilda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicheleB Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 My son has delays in expressive language (he's 9.5yo) and is currently working with our speech therapist. How old is your dd? Is there a possibility of doing another eval. for speech/language and doing therapy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle T Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 He has raging ADHD, dyscalculia and dyspraxia. His comprehension and retention are very poor. He often will tell me that he knows the answer to a question, but is unable to get it out. I've found that he has a terrible time in answering open-ended questions (such as "Tell me what you thought was most interesting about Augustus Caesar") or actually, in answering any school-type questions other than multiple choice, true/false, or fill-in-the-blank. So we use a lot of those. It is very frustrating. I have no good advice for you, but major sympathy. Michelle T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in MD Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 My ds had both expressive and receptive language prblems. ST helped a great deal. We followed it with a cognitive skills program which further improved his auditory discrimination problems and auditory memory problems. I feel this, with work on vocabulary, additionally helped his expressive language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philda62 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 How do you go about finding a therapist? She is 16 and has struggled all her life. She is very frustrated with her inabilities and is worried about graduating. We did do speech therapy with the schools when she was younger but they never really addressed her issues. They always had her in a group setting and she was basically overlooked. Gilda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicheleB Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 We are using the ST at our local hospital. We chose that because I would have to dually enroll my sons as public school students *and* homeschooling students and since we already live in a state that has strict homeschool laws, I didn't want that extra "finger in the pie". Our doctor referred us to the ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder if a group like toastmasters might have some references? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
