For Parents of Children with Communication Disorders

If you’re reading this, the odds are that you’re relatively new to the world of speech pathology. There’s nothing wrong with that. Nobody is expecting you to be some kind of speech therapy dictionary right out of the gates. Many speech pathology terms can be confusing even to people without a communication disorder. If you’re here, you know that you’ve already made the right decision for your child. You’ve heeded your intuition, or the advice of a friend or family member, and your family pediatrician referred you for evaluation by a certified speech pathologist. Incidentally, if they haven’t done this but you still would like to be referred, you are perfectly within your rights to ask. A general but undiagnosed speech or language delay in your child is unlikely to be covered by your insurance agency– but with the majority of identified communication disorders, the earlier in a child’s development they are diagnosed and treated, the better the prognosis. If your child is of school or pre-school age, you are legally entitled to an evaluation by the California Department of Education. Your local school district can provide you with more information. If your child is younger, you can inquire with one of the non-profit Regional Centers that provide assistance with disabilities.

What Happens Next

After being evaluated, your copy of the evaluation should be shared with your pediatrician for their records and so you can discuss the next step. If treatment is desirable, you can decide where to go. We advise that while you do this, you read up on your child’s condition yourself so that you know what to expect from treatment, can think of what might work or not work for your child, and learn more about how your family can deal with the difficulties that may arise from living with the condition. Sources you can use include your local library, the Internet, the evaluation agency that assessed your child, and us, Lynne Alba Speech Therapy Solutions.
