I think I already know the answer to this, but here goes anyhow: can a child with a high VCI have a receptive or expressive language disorder?
Yes, but I don't have a good explaination. This one of my DS16 main problems. He was diagnosed by a neuropsyc a bit over a year ago with an impairment in written expressive language among a few other things. I have found it very difficult to find remediation with this problem, but do have accommodations in his 504. It's hard to explain to teachers because they see him not filling in worksheets or writing nothing for a first draft of an essay as either non-compliance or not understanding the subject matter.
I'm not sure that your average speech/language pathologist would be able to help. Last year I tried finding writing tutors that would be able to help him with little luck.
Not sure I have a lot of good suggestions for you. But I wanted you to know your kid is not the only one struggling with these issues. I seem to have a school district that is being a bit more accommodating and compliant and seems to understand 2E kids a bit better.
