Common Questions and Answers about Speech help in school

speech

Avatar n tn Is she delayed in her speech or language? I have seen children do this when they are having a hard time communicating with others. I made a necklace out of a teething toy for a child that was having problems with biting. We taught him to bite the necklace when he was angry instead of another child. This really helped him. She could be having sensory issues that can be identified by taking her to an Occupational Therapist. I do not believe this is happening for no reason.
Avatar f tn I would ask the school about his speech. If he's in public school maybe they could do a speech evaluation to see where they are. Five year old boys are VERY immature. His social skills may be behind too.

500419 tn?1220124743 My son had the same problem in speech at the age 3. My Dr. did not want him to go to head start are preschool. You are the mom I would do what you feel is right in your heart. My child received better speech therapy on his own. When he entered school it was not as good because he had to share his time with other children in speech and only got 10 min. each, when they told me it was 30 min. So you should find out from head start how much time does he really get.
397435 tn?1201128125 they really cannot potty train her because of the lack of speaking. She is in special school and goes for speech but there is no improvement in regards to her actually speaking. They went for all nuerology tests and nothing is wrong, blood was all good. The question I have is anybody have any idea what this could be? Does anyone knjow why this happens? Ideas to try to get her to speak? I feel horrible. She is very smart and does interact. Just does not speak. I thank all who relies.

Avatar f tn i have 8 yrs son with severe speech delay ,his behaviour has become normal over period of time .studies in a normal school; plays with his pals, does his home work ,properly toilet trained,well behaved.problem occurs when v dont understand his distorted speech.how can v handle it& make his speech better indeed his understanding also.
Avatar m tn Is he of normal intelligence? How does he fare at nursery school? What does his mother have to say about his speech? You didn't mention any speech impediments, like stuttering or lisping, only that his speech was limited to one word responses, and that those responses often made no sense. Is it possible that the boy is uncomfortable with you, and behaves oddly because of it?
Avatar f tn In addition to that, there are a variety of in-home services available in many areas. There is help available for you and your children. Your job is to have them assessed and then follow up to determine services available where you live.
342647 tn?1291107933 That is normal and it actually sounds like your baby might be advanced in the speech department! Just keep speaking clearly and talking a lot to them and they'll pick it all up. Your pediatrician will start assessing speech development during visits. At least they SHOULD. You might notice, as they do the exam, the doctor will ask your child questions like, "What's your favorite food? Do you have a special toy?" to coax them into talking to see how well they speak.
Avatar f tn s 3 years old), suggested I sign him up for Speech Therapy at the local elementary school because his speech is delayed. Apparently, by law, the school has to enroll him for this problem. I don't know if this law is state wide or national, but you may look into a Speech Therapy program at your local Elementary school as well.
Avatar n tn He has a limited understandable vocabulary, he excells in everything except for his speech. I am a stay at home mother and he does not have playtime with many children at all. He has had early intervention but that ended when he turned 3. Now he will begin to have a 45 minute class once a week at the school where he will be able to interact with other children his age.
Avatar n tn I moved my son from a mainstream school to another school called Enhance Resource. I am in the UK. This type of school is also mainstream but specialises in autism. So each class is streamlined according to literacy ability and each class has around 5 children with autism or ADHD. Then there is one class for those struggling with the academic work and my son is in that class. There are a total of 18 children, 9 of which are on the spectrum. There is one teacher and 2.
Avatar f tn i am very frustrated and worried at this point. she is receiving speech therapies at school for about 10months now. I don't see progress i need help with her pls respond.
Avatar f tn We had his hearing test done which came out fine and had him evaluated with a speech patholgist who has told us to get him therapy for 2 days in a week and to also have him enrolled in a public school and have him evaluated there . we are from texas and im very unfamilar with the education system here . Any help of that will be appreciated .
Avatar f tn If he was quiet, he may have not built up the muscles that he needs to talk. A speech therapist from the school district can help. It would be a good idea to also have him tested if the doctor is suggesting it. If you feel uncomfortable with that, arrange for the speech therapist to work with him to see if there is any improvement.
Avatar f tn Hi i have a five year old and he just started school in Aug 22 2008 . He likes the school but does not talk in school , not even a single word . He did the same when he was in day care but he will talk to Kids outside of the Daycare premisses . i had arranged many play dates and he is very active in recieving his friends and talikng very normally again when he goes to back to day care he will stio talking .
Avatar f tn d want someone to rule out the possibilities. Speech therapy can help in more ways think you would think, and would be of no cost if he is in public schools.
Avatar f tn If something is bothering her, she will not approach any adult for help. If I send her to school with something to give her teacher, she won't do it. He grades are suffering because she won't answer questions by her teacher. She is very outspoken when she is just working with her peers. She speaks in all her adult relatives. What can I do to help her speak with adults.
Avatar f tn But from age 3+ he started repeating TV/DVD dialogue and also uses phrases, words, accents etc from films and TV in his speech. Now I would say his speech is 50/50 his own and delayed echolalic speech. He finds it harder to find the words to put together a sentence himself. It is easier for him to use a phrase he has already heard and use it correctly in its emotional context. So, for example, if his father were to tease him, he might say 'I'm going to send you to Timbuktu'.
Avatar f tn My seven year old son had speech delay. He is in Ist grade and going for speech therepy in school . He had beads stuck in her both ears for almost 2.5 years, my poor baby,we were ignorant. Now also when we or my friends ask him some thing, he says "what" at least 2-3 times. When I asked why we have to repeat question, he said " he doesn't understand what we asaked". We didn't do any tests. We are bilingual family but speak only english with him.
Avatar n tn Was he evaluated through the school system?
Avatar m tn As he is lacking language skills you may also find help on our New "Speech and Language Disorder Forum, there may be others there with ideas for you,Get him taking a good muliple Vitamin-mineral supplemnt with B Complex and Vit C, and some parents swear by fish oil, how is he at school , , focus on the positive side of his behavior, and give him plenty of attention,make sure he gets as much as the other children, does he do a sport and outside activities, this could help him.
Avatar f tn I have recently started working at a school and do Speech and Langauge interventions, a year 4 girl with downsyndrome has been added to my case load. however I am finding her behaviour quite difficult to manage. I feel like I am letting her down. Her speech is very poor and this can add to the frustration she has. My student will be laughing and happy one second and the next she will be aggressive and hitting and swearing.
