[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know for a fact that kids are still diagnosed with MERLD daily, because their parents flock to our MERLD Facebook groups. So it is mythology that MERLD disappeared as a diagnosis on a practical basis.[b] Language Impairmentis too generic to be truly useful..[/b] MERLD is pretty specific and feels like the opposite of the saying "if you meet one kid with autism, you have met one kid with autism." MERLD kids are strikingly similar as a group.[/quote] Language Impairment is one of the educational categories under IDEA. There are only 13 categories so naturally they well tend to be generic. The term is not an actual medical diagnosis.[/quote] Some on here only rely on public/county services and everything to them is about the educational categories/IEP vs. private medical terms with private therapies.[/quote]
