[quote=Anonymous][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]

NP.  There is no more Asperger's in the DSM but just about everyone including clinicians, SN schools, etc. still use it because unlike ASD, level 1, which is what Asperger's is called now, everyone knows what symptoms are present when you say Asperger's.
