[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't school systems use "developmental delay" for young kids already?  My kid who already had an autism diagnosis in preschool got services through his IEP under "developmental delay" until he was in K at a DC charter and so did all the other kids in his class with IEPs in preschool.  (Yes, the parents know each other through a networking get together soon arranged by the school)[/quote]

[b]Not all of us use school system services. [/b] We got such a run around that we gave up and went private (the delays were severe enough).  But, [b]insurance forced us (the doctor associated with it) to do it under an autism code [/b]and would not/will not pay under a language disorder nor take the time to look at what really could be the cause.[/quote]

Your choice.

Again, your choice; seek a second opinion if you're dissatisfied with a diagnosis.  No one "forced you."

Also, most health insurers do not cover services for language disorders.  So you are incredibly lucky. [/quote]

We are very lucky ours is paying now for a language disorder, but we also private paid for a year before it started, and had to jump through many hoops.  We did get a 2nd and 3rd opinion and none agree with the first, nor does the SLP however this doctor does not care what others say in their evaluations and we are stuck due to the insurance.  There is no choice in providers.  You are lucky you have choice, we don't.  The issue is it is coded in his medical records and it cannot be removed once its on except by this doctor who sees us 30 minutes every few years.[/quote]
