I am sorry if this is a stupid question, but is your concern that there is an actual developmental problem that won't self resolve in time, or that asynchronous development is causing him deep frustration and behavioral problems?
That's it exactly, "asychronous development is causeing him deep frustration and behavioral problems" Which the SLP considers significant. He's not aging out of her services chronologically, but his language skill itself is. Becasue of where we live, we do not get to pick and choose SLP services & can't get an SLP for a 2 yr old who is familliar with working with school age kids, they divide everything at the preschool level, because services for school age kids are provided though the schools themselves.
I think this is definitly in the "parenting an asynchronous toddler is hard work" category; I'm just hoping for advice, maybe I'm especially hoping for some suggestions from people who've faced this in areas where experts *were* available about what those experts suggested...
Thanks!

Ok: adding just a bit more: the SLP *is* concerned that if he keeps doing some of the stuff he's doing now, it will become a real problem. She wants to treat if the "symptoms" persist 3 more mos... but I'm not convinced her approach to the situation is the right one. So, it's not just me that finds this extreme enough to be concerning, but I also think she's a bit alarmist.
It's a bit complicated
