[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but if your kid is 4, and having this many problems it's probably not a delay and more likely she has LDs or autism.  There's not a "recovery."  Not trying to be mean, but don't live in a bubble.  It's therapy, therapy, therapy.  Maybe a SN school.  GL.[/quote]

Right, because all speech delays are caused by autism or learning disabilities.  You are absurd.  Your post would be mean if it weren't so laughable.[/quote]

NP.  The kid is 4 not 2 and [b]most[/b] speech delays in the 4 to 7 yr old set that OP is asking about is due to autism or learning disabilities (like ADHD, inattentive).  The only person being absurd is you.[/quote]

SLP here. This is grossly incorrect.

OP, I've had many students similar to your child, and while I can't say what her prognosis is, you're doing so many things right. Early intervention, socialization opportunities, realistic expectations. You mentioned strong receptive skills, which gives her expressive skills a strong foundation to build on. And most importantly, she's a happy, laughing child. I can't say enough how vital that is for her, and what a gift for you. Especially on the tough days.[/quote]
