[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what kind of practice are you going to?  I would go to TLC where they are used to working with kids with SN and sensory aversions[/quote]

We are military and they sent us to Walter Reed.  What is TLC?  I'm ready to pay out of pocket if needed. [/quote]

Wait a few months and try again.  We had that happen too at that age at Walter Reed. Stay with Walter Reed.  They have good audiologists and much better equipment than anywhere else.  Get your child some fun character headphones and practice getting him to wear it.  It may take a few visits but he'll do it.  My child has receptive issues and we had multiple ones done there but it did take us several tries for him to cooperate.  Walter Reed staff have this happen all the time.  They don't mind.

Tricare will pay for speech therapy.   You may have to get it approved via the developmental ped clinic vs. your regular ped.  We could never get it approved via the ped's clinic but the developmental ped pushed it through.   I don't know if she is still there but there is an excellent SLP at Ft. Belvior who did speech evaluations for kids (there are no SLP's at the military facilities who see kids) - I forget her name but she was great for an initial evaluation.  We went to Children's and they were terrible so a parent in the waiting room told me about her.  She was worth the trip.  She was civilian so she may still be there.[/quote]
