My son was developmentally delayed, speech impaired and expressive language imparted as a young preschooler. All those labels were dropped later and at 8 got an Aspergers dx. So he qualified for In home speech therapy for about 6 months (fine one on one with the therapist not the gabbiest of kids but it was productive and play groups we were attending I would say spoke once or twice an hour to the other kids, so very quiet). Entered the ESE preschool program and didn't speak one single word from his enter date (February) to the end of school year. Needless to say speech therapy was a waste those 4 months. We were concerned but when school started in august again he participated and talked like he had never gone 4 months completely silent in school. I am glad there was summer break. Because I think he did want to talk and he needed a fresh restart in august. We would have been calling in experts if it had continued the next year.
