I have a gifted son with Mixed Expressive Receptive Language Disorder.
It was apparent on his first gradeIowa Basics and his WISC. In the Iowa Basics testing, he put many subtests through the test ceiling, but scored lowest 3% in Listening. (That would be the receptive language problem.) His vocabulary, spelling, reading comprehension were good, but his ability to draw verbal inferences was poor.
We took him for an IQ test and he had more than two standard deviations between his verbal IQ score and his performance IQ score. At the suggestion of the psychologist, we took him to a SLP. The SLP tests are much more finely graded to target specific language problems than an IQ test, and she found "mild" delays in a number of areas. Those mild delays are compared to grade/age level not compared to his performance at other tasks. DX = mixed expressive receptive language disorder, with semantic pragmatic deficits.
We've been in (private)speech therapy for two years. He's had a lot of improvement.
Good luck finding a SLP to work with.
