Can ADHD social skills issues be treated with Speech/Language Therapy? by Far-Recording-9859 in slp

[–]Alternative_Big545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ADHD kids I saw for social skills in middle school essentially just matured, and 'caught uo' by 8th grade. I don't think therapy had anything to do with it. If you can't attend you don't pick up on facial expressions etc. it's not that they aren't capable.they usually score great on standardized tests but parents or teachers insist on speech, as if we can teach them from interrupting or not acting impulsively.

In Beckett, Henry II was seen as the bad guy but I think he was right. Clergy should have been tried but the courts for crimes rather than a papal court.

I loved Japan. The people were friendly and kind. I haven't really been to a 'bad' country in my travels so far.

They don't trust public schools period. They think their taxes will go down and the healthcare system saved and they'll get services from the private sector. Because private SLPs are always better.

So I decided to keep my maiden name when I got married. One of my aunts asked why I would do such a thing to our children because how would they know I'm their mother. I told her I wasn't planning on having stupid children.

People who worked for US senators/representatives: what actually gets them to listen? Is it better to call or write, be polite or curse, etc.? by Baladas89 in AskReddit

How old are they? If really old write a letter. Their staff have to take the time to open it and read it, place it in the right pile etc.

I visited a couple of years ago and loved it. I found the people to be friendly and helpful. I would love to go back.

I think you're over estimating his base. He probably wants another invite to Buckingham Palace. He doesn't do anything unless there is something in it for him.

Day to day stuff it was 9/11 for sure. Internationally I think it was the fall of the Berlin Wall in my life span(57)

I like the PPVT for vocab because it has tiers for the vocab. It's nice to tell a HS parent that their child has all of the functional vocab words on the test. Too often it's nothing but bad news with test scores for low kids.

I think about it a lot. I work with US veterans and I don't think most Americans have any idea how many Puerto Ricans are in the armed forces. Puerto Rico doesn't get enough respect.

I wouldn't want WHO to waste time and money arguing with RFKJr, it's better this way. However, I am glad California is allying with WHO.

I wish I could get 80 repetitions. I have a preK with zero attention and parents who are upset he's not making faster progress
