Agree. Most of the time when kids are evaluated it is not because their parents are identifying a host of concerns. It is usually something like "He doesn't talk like his brother did". Someone who can do a comprehensive evaluation, like a psychologist or developmental pediatrician, would be best. If there really are no other issues, then the testing will show that.

Also, testing can be a great way to identify strengths. My kid had a language delay but was strong at identifying letters and letter sounds. I had no idea and it was pretty much the only skill that was above average. It was the push I need to hire a literacy specialist to work with him the year I held him back from Kindergarten and kept him in a play based preschool. His speech pathologist kept coming to his school to work on language and social skills, then at home he learned to read. When he started Kindergarten having that foundation in reading was so helpful. He struggled with everything else but having that one skill gave him confidence.[/quote]

Very much agree.  Children's and KKI are such great, local resources too.

In our case, a developmental pediatrician was helpful to find that it wasn't a receptive delay, it was ADHD in our 4 year old.[/quote]

Depends on the child.  Children's failed our child.  At 2, they said our child was fine and we knew differently.  They denied any expressive or receptive issues even though it was very clear.  They told us not to bother with speech.  Luckily we got a second opinion who had a very different and correct opinion.[/quote]
