[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 429191, member: 11791"] Well... to answer the later questions first... I'd say either she isn't used to working with young children, or isn't used to working with multi-diagnosis children. Not likely so much a personality mismatch, as someone "out of her territory". I haven't seen a full job description... but I know they work with everything from deaf kids (and actually teach many of them how to speak enough that they can communicate basic needs to hearing people!) to auditory processing disorders to pronunciation difficulties (from physical issues such as cleft palate to whatever else). Its a broad enough field that no one Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) (speech-language pathologist) will cover everything... From what you've written, I'd second the opinion that your son needs Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) - but this is probably not the right one. [/QUOTE]
