[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They’re doing her a disservice if she has no signs and no PECS. Where is she age wise with receptive language? [/quote]

Wholeheartedly AGREE. my brother and his wife are in denial. We are trying reallllly hard to help them understand she needs early intervention and intensive speech therapy. Right now she only has speech once a week for 30 mins.

She’s about 9 -12 months delayed in receptive language from what my mom remembers but seems to be doing a bit better. She’s responding to yes/no questions and sometimes can guide my mom to what she wants.  My mom is trying to teach her signs and sees her 3-4 times a week.  [/quote]

There’s not much you can do except give resources. Maybe a verbal behavior based EIBI program, depending on other considerations outside speech development. Find some resources about how important EI is. Just give the info then step back, unfortunately you can’t do anything if they aren’t willing. [/quote]

Are you the BCBA?  This is really terrible advice.  You are way outside your scope of practice here and being highly unethical, and suggesting verbal behavior strategies for a kid with motor problems is bizarre.  Different diagnoses require different approaches and different professionals, and the correct professional for CAS if they is what this kid has is an SLP.

I’m an SLP, thank you for your opinion.[/quote]
