[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not knowing how to pretend play or play with peers sounds pretty autistic to me.[/quote]

She’s not. She knows how to play. It’s taking it to the next level. For example she will play with barns and animals but we’re looking for someone to expand on that - the animals are going into a spaceship and have a dance party on the moon. [/quote]

Does she have any diagnosis related to this, other than the expressive language diagnosis?

You don't want your post to read like you're in denial or hiding something. Expressive language delay does not cause lack of next-level play skills. It's ok if you don't have a firm diagnosis yet, but to me reading this post, it feels like there's a gap in your description of your daughter. [/quote]

Thanks. I will update the job description accordingly. And yes, we do have an official diagnosis. [/quote]

Why did you leave out the diagnosis that goes specifically to the thing you want the aide to address? Isn't that like, kind of the point of the ad?[/quote]

Because her diagnosis isn’t relevant. She’s neurotypical except for expressive speech delay. It’s called apraxia and people can’t wrap their head around a smart kind funny child who doesn’t have expressive speech. Her school is concerned that she doest’t take her play to the next level. I’m not. [/quote]

But what is the reason for the lack of next level play? Apraxia of speech does not cause that kind of problem in play skills. Does she have a diagnosis related to the play?[/quote]
