[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely think OP needs an evaluation. She is really mixing things up here. She says "limited range of emotions or flat affect." Those are not necessarily the same thing... and hence why some PPs talked about depression. My child with flat affect has the whole range of emotions -- but can sometimes be very flat in his speech -- which is prosody. He is getting help from a good speech therapist for this. I am assuming that OP meant that her child's speech patterns are flat. The child has already had speech issues, it shouldn't be shocking that there are still some expressive speech issues. At this point, it is really up to the OP to take her child to a dev ped to figure out why this child is having issues and if there are any other things going on developmentally that can shed light on a diagnosis. [/quote] Do dev peds see kids starting at that age? If it's just speech patterns, she is better off starting with an SLP.[/quote]
