[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SLP here. Short answer, yes. Language abilities in general cannot surpass cognitive abilities. Cognitive processes are the foundation, language is built upon those abilities. So, as long as language has been evaluated as within normal limits, general cognition should be fine. There can always be learning disabilities, difficulties and differences, so if there are concerns, you need to know the whole picture. Some children on the autism spectrum may have seemingly high expressive language skills but will likely show deficits in functional language skills and more complex concepts. [/quote] SLP's should not be commenting on cognitive skills. SLP's should be teaching speech and language - that's it. Sorry - you don't know what you are talking about.[/quote]
