Do you have a MERLD child? Because this has not been our experience at all. In my experience, the behaviors can look the same, but what my MERLD child needs and what the SLPs who are focused on autism language disorders were very different. I had to go in often and instruct the SLPs how to do their job, even the allegedly very talented ones.

I don't have a MERLD or an ASD child.  I have a "complicated" child.  Treatment is symptomatic no matter what they call it.  So I need to learn about a lot of things.  This is true for every SN parent  I've taught our psychiatrist a few things.  His own teachers taught him, "Your patients should know more about their condition than you do."  So congratulations (truly) you can teach your SLP what to do.  [/quote]

[b]If you have to teach your SLP vs. them working with you as a partnership or teaching you, one should terminate with that provider and find another one.  [/b]Ours is amazing and listens to our concerns, expresses hers and we all work together.  We went through several before finding the right one.  Ours is the only one who has seen our child who truly gets him and actually helps.[/quote]

PP isn't interested in what the SLP has to say. She knows everything. Everyone else knows nothing, even though they have graduate degrees in the field.  She is the nightmare parent that every professional hates to see walk through the door. [/quote]

You just keep making stuff up, don't you? When I felt we weren't getting much out of the private speech sessions I took a recording of a session to a university research center on language development. Those experts told me that the session was all wrong, and coached me on how to help the SLP correct the sessions.

It made a huge difference, and the SLP started using it for other kids as well. Again, these SLPs just don't get the level of training they need to help kids, and not enough of them use the MERLD gold standard treatments of child-led therapies.

Child-led therapies don't work well with many kids with receptive issues.  Kids do far better with structure and guidance.  That is why Montessori and other programs, like Waldorf are not recommended.[/quote]
