[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole point of getting an evaluation by an SLP is to see if there is a delay. [b]No one on this board can properly diagnose a child or offer advice going on what the OP was provided[/b]. Evaluations are compressive and cover many more developmental skills than just a word count. Pediatricians who take a wait and see approach after a 5 minute appointment before even referring for an eval aren't helping anyone.[/quote] Anyone who can accurately read the developmental milestones checklists can say whether what the OP wrote had raised any red flags. OP didn't describe anything outside the norm. Can she still seek out SLP assessment? Sure, but that wouldn't be because she described anything abnormal. And that's fine. It's just not because there is a red flag -- that's all. [/quote]
