[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My son has MERLD and has a lot of the issues you raise. Language, particularly receptive language, will impact a child across many facets, including reading, comprehending other academics, social skills, pragmatics and often fine motor. Schools typically don't have a lot of expertise in differential diagnosis -- that puts EVERY possible Dx on the table to find the best match. From the best label comes the best matched services for your child. I'd go to outside sources, and check who ever is evaluating your child to truly understand their training and their accuracy rates. Our school initially pushed hard for a "educational autism" label until about 2nd grade...when they said, wait, you're right, this is a severe language disorder, not autism. Since then, his academics have taken off. And he gets all the same level of resources with the language label as we would with the autism label. [/quote][/quote]
