[quote=Anonymous]PP again with child seeing SLP.

I did not mean for last line to sound angry:  "So much for knowing my kid so well and caring so much."

I wrote that in reaction to the OP (or perhaps another PP) who got all gushy about teachers knowing the kids better than the parents and caring so much for them.

I think the real reason none of the teachers have given absolutely no indication that they thought my child had a problem is because he poses no behavior problems (too dreamy really to do so).  In a large classroom a boy with perfect behavior can be seen as a gift for a teacher who has to spend so much of her time calming down very active boys.

But he does have a problem:  He scored absolute rock bottom on the Peabody Picture test, indicating a very significant receptive language problem.  But he was low normal on expressive language, which the SLP said indicated he was leveraging way out of bounds on the little receptive skills he had to express himself.  And he actually learned to read in the first grade.  The SLP said based only on seeing his scores, her professional view would have been that there was no way this child could have learned to read by age 7. [/quote]
