[quote=Anonymous]The good news is your child is really young, and you're getting assistance early. That's terrific.

Dev Pediatrician.

When a child is young and has 1 or more areas of developmental delay (e.g. speech) it can be helpful to see a developmental pediatrician. They will look for other more global signs (often there are none) of delay, and usually make referrals to other specialists if concerned.

Quality of speech therapists.

Impossible for us to say OP. Some people who work for the county programs are excellent, and some are not. Same for private therapists. The main difference is that, in the case of a private therapist, you are the client, not the county. So you can pick a provider you like,  set the frequency and so forth.

Whether to supplement the EI therapy would depend, to me, on how frequently the county SLP will come, and how well your child bonds with her.

My child is older, so don't have current developmental pediatricians to recommend.

If you go to Children's Hospital in DC, just stay away from Dr. Penny Glass, who isn't an MD anyway.
