[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is 6 - they have been working on expressive language. And apparently his receptive is not great. It was not initially tested in the first evaluation because my main concern at the time was expressive. If receptive is bad, I'm assuming that will make anything and everything that much more difficult for him.[/quote] Any speech therapist who just evaluates expressive language without evaluating receptive language for an initial evaluation is incompetent. Knowing a child's receptive language is crucial! There is no excuse considering he was 5 or 6 years old during the initial evaluation. Get another therapist ASAP. [/quote] +1 If you wait till 6 for therapy, its helpful but a bit late in the game. Get a new therapist if they did not do a good assessment. Poor receptive is different than expressive. Some kids have one, some both. [/quote]
