[quote=Anonymous]My older DS was diagnosed with MERLD and ADHD at 5. We did speech therapy for a while but the SLP thought that most of his 'speech' issues were more related to the issues associated with ADHD and that rather than private ST, we should continue with school ST, tutoring and practice/repetition. He didn't learn to read until about the end of 1st grade. By 5th grade, older DS no longer needed special ed services for speech/language but continued to receive them for math. He's now in 10th grade and doing very well. In hindsight, the first SLP was correct that his MERLD was more a function of his ADHD and slow maturation than a separate disorder. I have a younger DS with apraxia/ADHD/language and communication disorder (but has never met the criteria for ASD) whose profile is very different and has required intensive, long term ST. [/quote]
