[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP, but I have a similar situation here. I am in Montgomery county. My 23 months old has expressive & receptive speech delay diagnosed 2 months ago, and he just starts receiving county early intervention speech therapy last week.

[b]He has already seen a developmental pediatrician in DC, and it was about 2 hours appointment. I don't know if it is worth it or not, because it is just to confirm that my LO has speech delay, and no other obvious problem. It is a release of mind. I hear that I may have to pay $300 to $1,500 cash for that appointment if the insurance does not pay for it. Finger crossed, and I will see because I have not seen the bill yet.[/b]

I am not pursing private therapy as of now because I also hear that to wait till my LO being 2.5 year old or 3 year old would be more beneficial & cost-benefit. I also am not sure if my insurance would pay for speech therapy for my LO even though I have an official speech delay report from developmental pediatrician. Anyone knows?

I don't know what my next step too. If money is not an issue, I would go for private therapy. But I am not sure are there private speech therapy for this young? Any recommendations for Montgomery county? [/quote]

Our insurance did cover this, although we had a referral from our pediatrician. Good luck! [/quote]
