[quote=Anonymous]OP here. The conclusion of the speech eval was "atypical patterns of delayed responses and excessive verbalizations on 36% of responses. If a child shows interfering behaviors on 20% or more of the test items, additional observation is recommended to determine the source of the behaviors that have been noted. These behaviors can stem from a range of sources and may represent other issues."

So I feel like we are doing our due dilligence to get the extra observation and try to pinpoint the source, but coming up empty handed.

The psychologist we're working with even called the speech therapist to see what the above section meant, because she'd not seen it in an eval report before. Speech therapist said that's what it says in the county (we're in MoCo) "manual" for what to put when there isn't anything conclusive. The psychologist interpreted it as that DD prefers to talk about/try to bring playmates/adults into her fantasy world rather than respond to practical questions or requests to follow directions.

We haven't had our follow-up IEP meeting yet, and I was hoping that if I had a medical diagnosis that shed some light on why we might need some help with specific classroom skills so we could at least ask for a 504. [/quote]
