[quote=Anonymous]What services is he in now?  The best window for that stuff is 3-5 from what we found for services.  Best help is a really good SLP/Speech Therapist several times a week.  Ours worked on so many different things.

ABA is ok for basic starting to talk but not at that level/age.  If you have behavioral issues then ABA may be ok.  We didn't find it helpful at all for a language disorder.

Agree you need a full evaluation - I would go to an SLP.  The universities can do a really good evaluation if insurance/money is tight.  U of MD, GW and Loyola in Columbia all have programs at the speech pathology schools.  I would not just do a language evaluation at this point depending on what you have done in the past.  You should also do a hearing test as others suggested as a rule out.

Is child in school?  They should have an IEP but we found that the school does not recognize receptive issues, just articulation and expressive.  Though our experience is that speech therapy at school isn't helpful as its a group of 4-6 kids for 30 minutes with a huge range of needs, none similar.

Receptive language can continue to get better.  My child's started getting noticeably better at 6-7.  It may be as simple as time, but you really should have him in speech therapy a few days a week to work on it.

OT was a waste of time for language issues.   Focus on speech and a full evaluation to make sure it isn't something else.[/quote]
