The debate is not nonsense at all.   If you look at those videos, then swap the kids in them, what kind of progress do you think those kids would make? Trying to teach the apraxic child to comply, and the autistic child the mechanics of speech? The answer is not much.
 
   The details of how therapies unfold, and how children are taught makes a huge difference. I unfortunately wasted years of my child's life and a lot of money working with a well-respected speech therapist who still did not truly understand how to work with a child with severe receptive issues. Instead, she used the therapy skills she'd developed working with children with autism, which heavily focused on compliance. Once I made a change, I realized how speech therapy should look like for my child.

We bounced through multiple speech pathologists before we found the right fit.  I had one parent keep pushing me to try hers and we did and she was terrible.  I was surprised at how the woman was so popular, especially when she didn't take insurance.  Many people do not understand receptive issues as well as they claim to.[/quote]
