[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 552807, member: 3930"] Thanks TeDo and JJJ! I pulled out his preschool screening, initial evaluation, and previous and current IEP's. The area of concern checked is "communication". His eligibility category is "Speech/Language Impairment" because he has an articulation disorder. From the reading I am doing - I see a communication disorder may occur in [B]language, speech, and/or hearing[/B]. 1. [B]Language[/B] difficulties include spoken language, reading and/or writing difficulties. 2. [B]Speech[/B] encompasses such areas as articulation and phonology (the ability to speak clearly and be intelligible), fluency (stuttering), and voice. 3. [B]Hearing[/B] difficulties may also encompass speech problems (e.g., articulation or voice) and/or language problems. Hearing impairments include deafness and hearing loss. So I agree his articulation is good now, and I believe he has mastered all of his goals (I will double check). Therefore, I think #'s 2 & 3 are ok. However, I have some concern with #1. "Problems with language may involve difficulty expressing ideas coherently, learning new vocabulary, understanding questions, following directions, recalling information, understanding and remembering something that has just been said, reading at a satisfactory pace, comprehending spoken or read material, learning the alphabet, identifying sounds that correspond to letters, perceiving the correct order of letters in words, and possibly, spelling." <-- This sounds a lot like difficult child. What I see with easy child I cannot really put my finger on. He hears/understands some people/voices and doesn't others. He misses instructions in noisier environments or if the speaker does not look at him and tell him specifically. Some of this might be age. So I would like to reply back to the school with a letter expressing my concerns and asking for further evaluation. It feels like you have to be an expert on disorders and the various evaluations in order to know what to request. How do I know what to ask for? I think these are my concerns: Frequent requests for repetition (What? Huh?) Difficulty listening or paying attention in noisy environments Trouble hearing different sounds/voices Or, do I just say I am concerned of a possible Auditory Processing Disorder and would like him tested?
