[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have her continue to the appropriate grade and have her evaluated for speech therapy services.[/quote]

At this age, she needs a neuropsychological evaluation to screen for possible learning disabilities and/or adhd.  Op, this can be covered whole or in part by insurance.[/quote]

NP: “Academically she is doing fine” same grade + speech therapy and see where she is at the end of the calendar year [/quote]

She’s doing fine for second grade.  Schedule the neuropsych evaluation now:

Word retrieval issues could be anxiety and/or language based LD.  Before third grade, school is learning to read.  After third, it’s reading to learn.  Better to screen for possible difficulties rather than waiting a year.  Speech therapy is fine too but SLPs can’t give a whole picture.
