You are kidding yourself if you think those videos look like good speech therapy. I know it's what a lot of speech therapists do -- and it's lousy. Child-led therapy is what works. It took me quite a while to find someone who did it, but when I did, the difference was night and day. [/quote]

I didn't say anything about the quality, but [i]you're[/i] kidding yourself if you don't think most speech therapy looks like this in practice.  Also, they are just examples of STs assessing where kids are and progress.

The main point is that two kids have very similar struggles; the differences are in affect and eye contact.

So please get over thinking your kid with a language disorder is so much different than children on the spectrum.[/quote]

The child with autism had to be trained to sit in the chair and participate.  That is a huge difference right there.  I don't think the child lead is best.  My child has always had therapist directed but they play fun games at those young ages.  The kids may have similar struggles, but the they are indeed very different.[/quote]
