Really?  How do you explain concepts like "humility", "good sportsmanship", "kindness", etc. without using language?   Receptive language delays need much more than coping strategies and that is why a receptive language delay is sometimes an indicator for ID.[/quote]

Also, having to resort to "coping strategies" means that you will  likely continue to have issues, even if the coping strategies work very well.  The mere fact that it is a coping strategy means that you are using one part of the brain to make up for a deficit in another part.[/quote]

Ok, now you guys are really freaking me out. I am the one who has a son with a mild receptive language delay meaning it is slightly lower than his expressive but within normal/average range - is that an indicator of an ID?[/quote]

Not necessarily, it's just something to watch out for.  If your child is still in the low normal range, it could be argued that they don't have any real deficits at all, just a weakness in one particular area.  These posts were geared more towards another poster who is arguing her own child has no problems while other children are nightmares.  Not a popular view on an SN forum, to say the least.[/quote]
