Expressive/Receptive language disorder

[Anonymous]

“Strictly MERLD” is simply not reflective of how language disorders manifest.

“About one third of children with SLI in kindergarten met the most liberal criteria for dyslexia in later grades...”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2853030/

SLI can effect “speaking, listening, reading, and writing...”
https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/specific-language-impairment

So if you have a pre-teen and have only done speech assessments, please realize how the brain work in language and communication is way more complicated than your n of one child.

1/3, so that means 2/3rds don't. Why do you assume that there are more issues and parents haven't done enough evaluations? There are multiple ways to tell if a preteen is ok or not, including grades, test scores, personal observations and teacher/school observations. If a child is reading well, well, before Kindergarten, most likely its not dyslexia.

DP. A child can have excellent decoding skills but not comprehend what they are reading (hyperlexia), comprehension issues, trouble with inferences and pragmatics, inability to organize their thoughts (writing issues), etc. Unfortunately, writing issues are usually not found until middle school or later since the focus in elementary school is more on reading not writing.

You are way over generalizing. Yes, these are all possible issues but not for all kids. Op needs to get a good outside evaluation. It does not fully sound like Merld as the main issue. Our elementary focuses more on writing than reading skills.

Your elementary is the exception not the rule. It also sounds like you over generalize about other children based on your one child.

No I am not overgeneralizing. Based off that post 2/3rd kids don't have dual or multiple diagnosis. And, only 1/3 do. My elementary is not the exception. Many parents chose to ignore what's going on and put their faith in the school.

Glad to hear that your elementary school whose Sp Ed SLP services are so bad that your child no longer has an IEP provides such great writing instruction.

Read the second link. Your kid is affected by two out four areas that SLD can effect. It’s still one diagnosis.

1/3 have dyslexia. If you add in all other potential SNs, it's well over 50%. This is true for all SNs. If you have one, there's a more than 50% chance you have another.

Not all all. Your child may be complex but not all ours are. However this doesn't sound like an accurate diagnosis or that simple.

Nobody.said "all" kids are."complex"..Just.that.if.you have one SN, there is a good chance you have another.

There is not a good chance. There is a possibility but you cannot assume that if a child has one thing they MUST have XXX.

I think you don't understand that "good chance" does not mean "MUST."

These issues are common in kids with ASD while issues with decoding (reading) are common in kids with ADHD. So yes, it’s not uncommon to have more than one SNs.
