anyone on with a child diagnosed with a speech disorder at 18 mos or so? My daughter is now 3 1/2 and I'm wondering about testing for other issues. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

If you're worried, get the full eval. Always better to test, and treat if necessary, earlier rather than later. [ Reply | More

Speech delays are diagnosed by 18 mos. Hard to diagnose more than that at such a young age. Apraxia gets thrown around a lot, but it's often over-diagnosed. Processing issues are not diagnosed until much older (around 6-7) [ Reply | More

My DS was dx. with only a speech delay at 18 mos. By 2 I suspected more was going on, so I took him to a dev. ped. Turns out he has sensory issues and some other mild delays. [ Reply | More

My 22 mos DD was diagnosed with an expressive language delay, gross and fine motor delays and sensory issues when she was about 16 mos. We have been going for ST, OT and PT since then and her language has significantly improved as well as her gross motor skills. Her fine motor skills are still lagging significantly, however. Her sensory issues are also improving a bit. [ Reply | More

>>> I guess my point is that it never hurts to test for other stuff. I am *very* happy that we spent the money and time up front to get a comprehensive neurpsych/OT/PT/dev. ped evaluation. I feel like we have a whole picture of DD, both her weaknesses and strengths. [ Reply | More

If your child's issue resolved by itself he probably didn't have a disorder [ Reply | More

IMO if you are concerned at all, go with your gut. It never hurts to have the evaluation. Do it now while your DD is still young (under 5). [ Reply | More
