[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child has it.  It was severe younger.  Now its very mild and a few minor struggles but child is very different and doing great.  Does well in sports, standardized testing, no behavioral issues nor any other diagnosis.  It isn't gloom or doom.  Like anything its hard to predict.  We were told by Dr. Camarata that our child would learn to adapt in the weaker areas and be fine.  Some of it depends on IQ too.  Kids with higher IQ's seem to have a better outcome (which isn't a surprise).

Best thing to do is from 3-5/6, do intensive speech therapy, not just county or PEP.  Consider LEAP as it is the only program that specializes in language at UMD.

Also, for the first few years of school, you may want to consider private.  I think that helped a lot as the school we were at was very nurturing but still kept the same expectations.

Public school is a worthless for services and supports.  They do not understand it so don't expect anything and do it at home.[/quote]

Thank you! I have been curious about when he goes to kindergarten. Luckily we still have some time. I have heard that PEP is amazing though, and even teachers at private school recommend it. Did you not feel it was enough? I was planning to only do private speech once a week but maybe I will reconsider..[/quote]
