[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MERLD as a disorder does not exist anymore, but maybe if you post it every few weeks it will be put back into the DSM, right? Nice try Mary. [/quote] I'm not Mary? But the mom of the four-year-old above and me rld is exactly what my pediatrician put on her referral for speech therapy. Now her IEP says language impairment, so maybe that's the current term.[/quote] Language Impairment is an IEP category that covers more than just MERLD. The current term in the DSM for MERLD is "language disorder," which also includes pure expressive disorders.[/quote] MERLD is also receptive, not just expressive. It means kids have both.[/quote] Yes, correct. But any diagnosis that includes receptive and/or expressive is now in the DSM as just language disorder. Maybe because the distinction is still useful, clinicians are keeping the MERLD term anyway.[/quote]
