I have a 4 1/2 year old boy whom I keep in Childcare. He can follow 2 directions at a time when we are doing it for learning. Has trouble w/ 3 directions--have to repeat or tell him again. Also has trouble w/ comprehension. I will ask him a question:i.e....did you wash your hands...and he will give me a look like he doesnt' understand the question and say, "uh...".
My daughter is three and a half years old and she barely talks. She'll say "juice" "thanks" and a bunch of other things and has a few phrases like "what happened?", but she isn't talking in sentences. I've tried many things like flash cards (she blazes right through them) and making her repeat one word at a time to make a complete sentence and basically encouraging her to talk as much as possible.
t think conversationally he is up to par for a four year old. I am thinking of putting him in speech therapy to see if this will help his social and conversating skills. If you ask him questions, most of the time he can answer you. I am just worried and want him to do well in school when he starts in August 2010. Do you think speech therapy will benefit him?
I do not think a child can be diagnosed with ADHD at 1 years old. They have not even developed the understanding to concentrate on a specific thing for more than a couple of minutes. My son was a wonderful, patient, and could concentrate till he was about 5 years old. That is when we first saw some signs, and he went to preschool and had no problems. It was when he started Kindergarten, when he actually was diagnosed and the problems were definitely there then.

Hello, my 4 year old niece has speech delays, we believe she is on the low to mid spectrum of autism. She has recently began speaking a handful of words, no sentences. #1. Remain calm and upbeat, as hard as it is don't show him your worried, as he doesn't realize why your worried only knows/feels that mommy is upset. #2. Try not to jump to conclusions, some kids speech is delayed and by time they are 5 seem to catch up on there own or with help from speech therapy.
My 2 year old grandson is speech delayed but we are concerned about autism. He tries to say @ 50 words, but not clearly.
Recently, he has started to point at things of interest and will point when asked at certain pictures in books. He smiles at others. He understands and obeys simple commands. He sometimes, but not always responds to his name . He bites and head bangs occasionally. He shows interest in other kids, makes good eye contact with his mother but not so much with others.
I'm a mother of a very healthy 2 1/2 year boy...

I mean he is only saying about 3 or 5 words and i have tested him for serziures but those came back negative.... If you can please let me know what i should do or if you think he has autism.
Hi, I have a 6 year old soon to be seven and I am running out of options here in brazil. My son doesnt talk and never had. The doctors say he is delayed, but when does the speech stop being delayed? He is a smart boy he understands everything in Two languages of course his portugese is better then his english because he was raised here. I was reading about the wolf- Hirschhorn syndrome..
When she turned 2, I had concerns. There is a difference between speech and receptive language. When there is a lack of receptive language (i.e. understanding directions, responding to their name, etc), then there is usually more concern. I didn't know there was a difference before my daughter turned 2. At 17 months, I wouldn't worry too much.
Some things speech therapists do for kids with just speech delays, is repeat a word lots of times.
I can't comment about the delays but I have a 2 year old also. The rapid mood swings are typical of what I saw in both my boys and in other normal 2 year old children we play with. The question is does he have the behavior problems (biting hitting etc) in all situations or is he normally better with someone in particular.
He has been seen by a child development doctor. He has had one session of speech therapy, another in a couple of weeks. He has got an appointment with an occupational therapist next week.
I received a copy of the letter addressed to my doctor with a report from when I saw the Child development doctor that said he has mild Hypotonia???
My question is does anyone have a child like mine who has or had similar development delays and what was the outcome.
No, this is not a normal situation. He is definitely showing a significant delay in achieving speech/language, and this may be occurring in the context of broader developmental issues. An evaluation by a developmental pediatrician would be a wise course to take. Is there a family history of hyperactivity?
hi, my 2 1/2 yr old son has been diagnosed with global development delay but i think theres more to it. he has been seen by a peadiatric doctor, physiotherapist, O.T., social worker, speech and language therapist, health visitor and gp. i have looked into global development delay and think theres much more wrong with him.
I have a healthy 5 1/2 year old son who just started kindergarted about a week ago. 2 days ago we noticed he was repeating himself in a whisper. It seems to get worse when he is upset. Sometime he will only repeat the last 2 words of a sentance and sometimes he wil repeat the whole sentance. It came on very sudden. Any suggestions?????????
But when researching on intellect i found he acts like a two year old. I used to get him to count, do some alphabet and name objects and foods but lately he has not done that. Potty training has been very difficult because he doesnt seem to care nor communicate. He has two little sisters (ages 2yrs ,6mnths) but he interacts very little with them. He still gets very excited about being around older children or kids his age especially boys.
I have a 4 year old daughter and I'm worried that she may have a development problem. She can't focus on one thing for more than a couple of minute and she can't answer a question when asked. Anytime that any adult asks her somthing she only says off the wall things. She has also started being really rude to people but never me. I am worried that I need to get her tested before it gets worse.
and while i wont say daycare was a miracle, it sure did help him out so much more than 2 hours a month with a speech therapist. being around other children who were able to express the things they wanted or thought about help him to learn those things too. he still lines things up in a very orderly fashion, but he is now able to speak his mind. maybe you should give daycare a shot.
My son is four years old. He is very intelligent for his age. He can do things (academically) that most boys and girls his age can't do. My problem is that he has this obsession with strings lately. He spots them, picks them up and plays with it. He will get any kind from sofas, clothes, the floor. I have a cousin who has a son who does this and well he has Autism Spectrum Disorder. I am scared that my son may have this.
It is hard to check hearing at that age because it assumes cooperation which lets face it most three year olds can sit for a hearing test, I would follow up with the pediatrician and the audiologist, the pediatriacian can give you a referal for a speech language assessment and they can help you determine it language is a problem or not.
