[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U of MD is getting out for winter break soon and do not return till late January.  Staff is still there so I would see if you can get on the wait list.  Remember the university's are on college schedules. It is hit or miss depending on the student clinicians as the pp said.  Do you actually need an evaluation or do you need therapy.  We only do evaluations for insurance purposes.  When we private paid, we just paid for the speech therapy.  Then we got our insurance to start covering it and they require periodic evaluations.

National Speech in Bethesda and other locations advertises free evaluations.[/quote]

If you don't have an evaluation, how do you know if therapy will correct the issue?  For my child, it's a language issue,  not a speech issue.  What no one can tell me without an evaluation is if this is just a delay that will be outgrown or a true issue that will need assistance to work through.  Sometimes I think there are expressive issues only; sometimes it seems to be receptive; sometimes it seems like both disorders are displaying; sometimes I think it's because he's 4.  In other words, in the absence of a professional telling me what is going on, I have no clue.[/quote]
