Worried after Speech and Language Assessment

    Hi,
    I've tried registering on www_ssli_ie but not receiving activation email so will post here instead.
    Long story short, brought son for Speech and Language assessment last Wednesday as suggested by School.
    Thought it was going to be a formality to rule it out but therapist mentioned "severe receptive language disorder". A more detailed report is to follow.
    I am totally baffled and sick with worry. At home he can understand detailed instructions (even when I'm in a different room or have my back turned). He's in Senior Infants and is keeping up with his homework and maybe even more so. He plays game with me building sentences and stories and new vocabulary.
    I've researched "severe receptive language disorder" online and can say there is now way our son has this condition.
    Can anyone make sense of this?
    1. Can a child have this condition at school but not at home?
    2. Can a child have this condition and still progress adequately with homework and blending, reading and writing and general homework tasks.
