It seems to me like you should have a proper evaluation of her current

level of language function by a competent Language Therapist. This should give

an objective baseline and inform on how she compares to her peer group and

the SLT should then be able to make recommendations on appropriate

intervention.

ABA/ Parents:

What do you think about our high functioning kiddos with ABA. I am going

back and forth about whether to do a program because my daughter is doing

well (since starting in Sept.). it's her conversation skills that are an

issue, which seems like some speech therapy will help.

To me, she just seems immature. Shes almost 4 but sounds more like a 2.5

year old. I was thinking that with more healing time the skills would come.

What do you guys think????

Thanks for your help
