[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When was he last tested for speech, and did he score average for both expressive and recessive? If so, why is he still in speech? Articulation only?

My child with speech needs started with only an expressive delay, but as her expressive speech caught up, she had recessive delays emerge. Is it possible there are issues with his recessive language now that he is expected to understand more?[/quote]

Thanks! He was tested 1 year ago and had articulation issue with the “s”. Puts his tongue in between his teeth. He worked on that for a bit and still does, but I don’t see much progress. It was a small issue in my opinion. His speech therapist is spending most of the time on vocabulary, recalling details, irregular verbs, categories, etc.[/quote]

Have you talked to the SLP about these issues you posted here, by any chance? It sounds like the SLP is noticing some weaknesses that might be related to language processing and organization. I wonder if they might have some insight on whether a speech issue could be contributing to the issues your child is having in story writing and listening in a group.

At the least, since you already have an SLP who knows your son well, it might make sense to rule this out before looking into any other type of evaluation. [/quote]
