[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all kids with ASD need or get ABA.  ABA has NEVER been recommended for my DS with ASD/ADHD by anyone.

You are right however that speech therapy for a MERLD child will look very different than speech therapy for a child whose deficit is solely pragmatics. DS attends a language immersion school, Mandarin/English, has excellent language skills and gets pragmatic speech therapy and social skills classes.  He would not be in a dual language program if he had issues with receptive and expressive language in English.

Also, it is hard to imagine a child who has issues with receptive and expressive language NOT having pragmatic speech issues.[/quote]

It may be hard for you to imagine, but the MERLD kids I know do not have pragmatic speech issues.  They have expressive issues that may impact social things but its not the same thing as what you are thinking.  And[b], my MERLD kid could do an immersion school[/b], as he's done foreign language at his school for two years/no more issues than other kids.  You are very much overgeneralizing and making it based of ADHD/ASD, not a language disorder.  [/quote]

Really!  :roll:
