[quote=Anonymous]My DD had  both expressive and receptive language delays and was similar to your DS at that age.  She also had mild hearing loss, which was a factor, but not responsible for the full delay/disorder.  Fast forward, she is a successful college student at a major university.  She had speech therapy through 3rd grade, OT through K and lots of other movement, dance and theater classes starting very young in PK/K and going through part of middle school. If she were to tell you what helped her the most, she would say the acting classes.  It was risky, because she still had difficulty with expressive language in K when she started, but being with the other kids with focused roles, also doing nonverbal communication, somehow unlocked pathways to her expressive language.  Her hearing loss has gotten worse, she still has minor expressive language challenges, but it is not in her way.  Her visual skills are very strong and she is majoring in a visually oriented field.  Good luck as you find the best path and support for your DS. [/quote]
