This discussion is related to Recovering from Autism, still has speech delay.

Well, medical report did not a speech and language evaluation. She may be medically fine to speak (his mouth, vocal cords, etc aoe ok) but she does have speech delays or she has something called selective mutism. However, her brother is just starting to talk at 5 right?! He needs help as well. I will take them to do an psychological evaluation that includes speech and language, intellectual capoacities, etc... a full evaluation. You got nothing to loose. These are your children and they need your help. Good luck. BTW, her brother may "influenced" her but not really her speech.
