[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 451617, member: 11847"] Insane: We did see a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and she actually is the reason I am worried. She said his language are actually extremely good, way above his age. Tha's why he flies under the radar (had previous school assessment through Head Start). She explained that if they stick to language test, the school will never see/understand the problem. She then recommended to see an audiologist to test for Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). That leads to my second issue: no one will test a child under 6 years old. They simply don't have any norm to go by.... The Speech Language Pathologist (SLP)'s advice was treat my difficult child's issues like Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) even though it is not official yet. She explained that she could not help him without an audiologist report (which would point the area(s) affected by the disorder). The Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) also warned of school speech therapists: very few are actually familiar with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). She said that regular speech therapy would not be of any help for difficult child, although the school might actually suggested. His language skills and conceptual thinking always make him look within normal or above age level. At least that was the case at Head Start with their screening tools. That's actually one of the reason I don't think he will go back next school year. It was just so frustrating to try to explain and have nobody listen. Ok, I'll try to relax. I promise! lol [/QUOTE]
