[quote=Anonymous]The problem is sometimes there is a huge gap between what is "delayed" enough for therapy and what the average child can do. If you look up the expected ages for different consonant sounds, you will probably find that the sounds she is mispronouncing are expected to be mastered at age 5, 6, etc. So they cut the speech therapy once she is caught up on the chart and hope normal development spontaneously occurs or you give up and pay for private ST. For the fine motor issues, I would see a private OT this summer. Find one who takes your insurance-it is much easier to get coverage for OT then ST. You will be out just your copay. IME a child has to be very far behind before the school will agree to fine motor OT. They will tell you that scissors and writing are skills acquired in K and 1st grade. [/quote]
