[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 4.5yo DC had a speech evaluation done by a private practice. The results suggest average receptive language and low average expressive language. Based on this, the suggestion is do speech therapy to address the expressive language delay. I am very open to doing this - no harm, I guess. But what exactly qualifies as an expressive language delay? [/quote] Expressive means talking, so your child understands what is said to her as well as her peers, but in some elements of talking she is a little behind. Maybe she uses shorter sentences, or her grammar isn't good, or the vocabulary she uses, as opposed to what she understands, is smaller than other kids. Or maybe all 3 of those are true. But low average is mild, it's right on the cusp of not needing speech at all. So that's good. [/quote]
