[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, pp, I told the op not to expect a diagnosis of MERLD.  Of course a child can have expressive and receptive delays or a disorder.  It may have a MERLD ICD code for billing, but a psychologist isn't going to give a diagnosis of MERLD since it hasn't been in the DSM for 5 years.

She's asking for BTDT experience, and you would know this if your kid had an educational evaluation and not just your  SLP.[/quote]

At this point child is really young so an educational evaluation should be included but very limited.  My child has been evaluated by a variety of providers, not just our SLP but our SLP was the most detailed and accurate.[/quote]

The kid is 4.5 now and will be older by the time he gets an evaluation.  It won't be limited at all.  Since you've never done one you wouldn't know that.[/quote]

How would you know if we have done evaluations or not?  My child doesn't have any academic issues, grades are very good.  Child was tested early on and no concerns.  Early reader so it was easy to tell.[/quote]

Have you done a neuropsch then?

Based on what you write and the vagueness of what you say, you sound like you've never done this.  Differential evaluations aren't just for academic issues.  They sometimes show them, but when a kid's had persistent delays throughout preschool, they're a good idea.  It's a good baseline if issues crop later.[/quote]
