[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again PP/19:35, I don't know which developmental pediatrician you saw, but our DP did many of the same tests that an SLP would do for an evaluation.  Just like a psychologist doing a neuropsych evaluation will do some of the same tests an SLP would do.  Sometimes these things overlap and you can definitely get a formal diagnosis.  It's just that a developmental pediatrician is trained and qualified to test for things that an SLP isn't.[/quote]

You are projecting.  Op is asking about speech, not a global evaluation.  She is looking for someone out of concerns for specific issues.  Why make more into it than it is?   If you have speech issues, you go to a speech pathologist.  [/quote]

PP (and I assume you're 20:28 as well), you sound like you're just trying to be contrarian, or extremely literal--are you an Aspie by any chance?.

The OP is asking about speech b/c the school recommended it and she hasn't been down this road before.  Her kid is having trouble with word retrieval and fluency; she's also not sure if the issue is due to anxiety.  Often speech issues can be related to other learning issues, ADHD, and even anxiety:  http://www.understood.org/en/learning-attention-issues/child-learning-disabilities/dyspraxia/understanding-dyspraxia#item6

It's fine to go to an SLP, but even better if the OP gets a full picture.  I'm a little tired of the you're rubber, I'm glue argument.[/quote]

You are missing the point on getting a fuller picture.  And, if you are going to diagnose to Insult to prove you are right, get your diagnosis correct.  There is no more aspergers.  [/quote]
