[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I highly recommend year-round private speech for the consistency of the same provider during the critical early years for almost any speech delay.  in addition, it is more likely at least one parent can go and observe some times to know soecifically what to be reenforcing at home.

Speech therapy in public school after preschool is most often now in small groups.  the one-one-one is essential in the early years.  In private pay, as speech moves along consider you are also getting your child set for prereading skills by having the focus on language acquisition.

For nonverbal young children or the on the Autism spectrum also consider sign language in conjunction with speech.  As an aside the very experienced grad student ,who does things with our you g adult dsughter, in the communications disorders program here has told me the positive response of kids in the Autism camp to learning some simple signs!

We did speech year-round Privately, plus a split model equal to PEP and regular preschool settings for five years.  The other thing I would say is that for some an extra year in preschool or a good daycare program can make a real difference.  Kindergarten is what first grade used to be and public school instruction is often paced for the class.

Nice advice but you clearly have no experience with LEAP.  K is not very difficult if kids are prepared.  Its not what 1st grade used to be.  I don't get why people say that.  The early years are very slow.

Autism camp has nothing to do with a child with language disorders.  The focus doesn't need to be on sign language and the direction you are suggesting may make sense for your child but this has nothing to do with teh topic at hand.[/quote]
