[quote=Anonymous]I have a child with a language disorder and we have tricare. We initially held back as we were pushed (but it was also a birthday issue). It was a huge mistake. At 5, things were a struggle, but a few years later things looked very different and it was clear it was a mistake and child skipped a grade. Tricare is very generous with speech therapy. Take advantage of it. We went several days a week. Socially it was far better being with older kids as some act the age of the kids they are with so mine acted much younger. The stronger curriculum/speed was also better and helpful for the language development. I would not hold a child back do to a language disorder. You work on the language disorder and get as much speech therapy as you can, especially if you have tricare, which is one of the few that will pay generously. [/quote]
