[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you sure about the receptive issue? Have you had a really good eval? I would call Mary Camatra and chat with her a bit. Those delays are hard to tease out - my kid memoriZes stuff and is very social so can "pass" by scripting/using clues at 4. It could also be mutism right?

But yes, I hear all the time about kids with significant issues [b]recovering[/b] at 7. I know for language that 5 and 7 are big catch up areas. For kids that have epilepsy, my son does, many language issues resolve at 7. It's one of those odd things. It's interesting because epilepsy also onsets at ages where different parts of the brain are used - 4, 7-8, and teens. Odd. [/quote]

It's not "recovery."  Your kid either has a developmental delay and grows out of it or they have a language disorder.  Good God, you and the OP need to get the terminology right at least.[/quote]

Whoa there. What on earth is wrong with you? Is this how you want to be given information regarding your child's potential prognosis, even if it entirely subjective and most likely not on point? You are being so unkind and petty. Grow up. I'm sorry your child is struggling. Mine is too. It's hard. No excuse for lashing out like this. [/quote]

+1.  This board is supposed to be supportive.  [/quote]
