[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I have a child who is severely disabled and has no diagnosis. [/b] She is 10 years old.  You really have no idea what you are talking about.

Many families wait years or never get a diagnosis.

People are free to use whatever terms describe their situation -- especially since so many kids fall through the cracks.  Stop expecting order where there isn't any.  You sound like you have problems yourself.[/quote]

Maybe you missed the posts, but the poster was a mom with older children who never had them evaluated.  So you don't have a diagnosis is you never look either.[/quote]

How do you know they've never been evaluated?  If they are in speech therapy, in order at least for our insurance to pay, they have to be regularly evaluated.  Not all kids need a neuropsych.  We've never had one.  Big deal.  It isn't going to tell us anything more than the many other evaluations we have had.[/quote]

That's what the mother said.[/quote]

I am that mother! You misunderstood me. My older son has been evaluated by his pediatricians (several), ENT's, a half dozen SLP's, had a full scale WISC administered by a psychologist, and seen a neuroscientist who is an expert in apraxia. Everyone concluded that he seems to have low-ish time and multiple major articulation errors. All that and nobody knows why. So we focus on the what and thank God he is getting better with therapy and time. Same story to a lesser degree with ds2. [/quote]
