[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ei aren't going to provide everything a child needs, however at that age its fine.  If it is just an expressive disorder, I would not be as concerned as a receptive or apraxia.  We always did private only.  At 3, U of MD has a speech specific preschool called LEAP.   They have changed directors a few times since we were there so I cannot speak to how it is now.  It greatly helped my child and he was able to successfully transition with no issues to another school.  I never found much speech specific outside the school system, LEAP and our private therapist.  Several of the speech agencies have private camps but they are very costly compared to U of MD and hit or miss depending on the staff and kids that year.  We decided it was not worth it due to cost.

EI uses apraxia as code for pretty much all speech delays.  Receptive issues aren't the end all be all and since most of these kids haven't been to developmental pediatricians, a lot of people don't know what issues their kids have b/c EI doesn't diagnose.

If people can swing it financially and from a time perspective, then private speech helps b/c early intervention is critical.[/quote]

Never heard of any of that.[/quote]
