Speech Therapy OK? No diagnosis

[Guest guest]

Hi,

thanks to those who wrote back. It sure is nice to know that there

are others our there listening. I don't always feel comfortable

talking about this with friends - especially since most have kids

same age, but sooo different. I really don't have any so close here

since we are pretty new in town.

went to her 2nd speech therapy session. I just don't know if

these two are going to connect. Her therapist thinks she

is " stubborn " , and maybe she is a bit. But there is also the thing

that takes awhile to warm up to people, doesn't like them to

pick her up right away, and is used to some kind of explanation

(usually from me) about when and why we are doing things that are

not " her way " . After reading on the site, I asked her SP what

the " plan " was, and what she thought " had " (i.e., oral motor

apraxia, verbal apraxia). She said she was not sure, and that

it " didn't really matter " . UUUGGG that didn't satisfy me at all. We

also asked her pediatrician whether should see a pediatric

neurologist to " diagnose " her. She also said no, and that SP should

help to identify the problem.

I really don't know what to do now, but we are paying pretty big $$$

for private SP, and I want to be sure this is going somewhere.

Anyone experiencing this?

What to do?
