Speech therapy questions

I should have listened to my gut.

I would ALWAYS recommend trusting your gut when it comes to special services for your kids. Always. Parents know their kiddos better than anyone else.

Thank you everyone. I don't think we'll have much trouble getting insurance to pay (at least 80% I think). I don't really care how much it costs - I just want to make sure that we find a good speech therapist.

I've been really paying close attention to DD's speech, and she has trouble with L, TH, and V. But, it sounds like that's pretty normal for her age. I'm more concerned with her dropping consonants in the middle of words, like Daddy sounds like Da-ie or bottle sounds like bah-le. When I ask her to repeat the word, she'll say it fine, but when she says it in a sentence, she doesn't articulate it very well. She also has some trouble getting her sentence constructed the way she wants. Some of it seems normal given that she really just started talking a lot in the last year. But, I just wasn't sure if she was supposed to make a huge leap forward... Anyway, thanks again, I need to relax until we can get the evaluation
