My son is 26 months old and has been diagonised with speech development delay but now I am wondering if there is more to be concerned about. He was also slow/delayed at reaching gross motor milestones of sitting, crawling and walking. He flaps his armes when excited or agitated, and is compulsivily clean. He can be extremely affectionate one minute but then start hitting, biting and/or pulling hair.
My son is 4 yrs old.He was born only three weeks early and was healthy.Met all milestones pretty much on time except talking.He did not talk until 3 yrs old.He has severe speech apraxia and takes speech 3 times a week.We have seen some small improvment.I also know he does not have conversations like a 4 yr old does.He doesnt ever talk about past or future,doesnt talk about ideas or really anything except in the moment type of stuff.
Maybe you could try either printing some material from the Internet on normal speech development of children at given ages, or get a book at the library on toddler development and see if milestones are given, and show them. Do you think he doesn't hear, or is it simply that he is not seeming to comprehend language? If you think it might be his hearing, also see what you can find of symptoms of hearing issues in small children.
I don't believe speech therapy is necessary for him, he may just be a quieter type of child who takes in alot from his environment, which isn't such a bad thing. For now, just do as you would normally and keep communicating with him. Encourage him to communicate with others aswell, which i'm sure you already do. I myself was a real quiet kid and wouldn't speak to anyone and was extremely shy, i just wanted to do my own thing and was happy to do so.
m not sure where your from so its probably called something different but there should be programs where you are that helps with children speech development they came to your house they will observe your child and then set up appointments depending on how much and what kind of help she needs they come to your home for the appointments so the child is comfortable there is usually no charge depending on your insurance and they will be able to tell you if she needs testing for autism and where you
born ar 29 cm
do you think it is a permanent development problems, will she get to the milestones, even later than other child will do
please give me your feedback on the possibilities and
Hm. Let me ask you if he met his milestones in development on time? Does he communicate in other ways with you, gesturing and pointing? I'm not sure what is going on, but I do think you keep your eye on this. You've raised other children--- so you know what to expect. Not every child is the same, of course. But you have a general idea. If these things continue, a developmental pediatrician or occupational therapist may be ideal for an evaluation.
Caution should prevail whenever we indicate an age at which children lean something. There is a wide spectrum of normal. Having said that, most children by the age of five, and certainly six, know left from right.
You go by the medical way of counting. I even have a book that says things like (in big letters) Sixth week and then in little letters (Fourth week since conception). All the milestones for a developing embryo are listed using the medical way of timing a pregnancy.
s doctor will focus not only on her motor development, but on the development of all her other skills, such as hand, language, and social skills. In preparation for her next checkup, make a list of what all of her motor and language skills were at 12 months and how they have progressed over the past few months. This will be valuable information to help both you and your doctor decide whether you should worry, or if your baby is just on her own normal developmental timetable.
Her new born screening was fine , my husband and I have normal language/verbal development. She understands what we tell her, she knows and points where the moon or the stars are, or get her slippers or eat her food. She loves to play with children. Does she just have delayed development? What are the things that I may do at home to improve her verbal development? I don't want to wait till she gets 2 years old and realize it's too late for me to do something about it.
Usually the first professional to assess any child is the Speech and Language Therapist because most of these children have difficulties with speech and social interaction. If her speech is poor then that could be an avenue you could bring up because all children need sufficient communication and language skills for nursery and school otherwise they won't be able to communicate or understand what is being asked of them.
My question is: Can head traumas that are supposedly "minor" cause loss of speech, or a speech disorder? Can it cause "petit mal" staring seizures?
This haunts me. . .
I have stone floors in my house and my son (due to playing with his older sister) has fallen (apparently) backwards twice off the couch (18 inches) and hit his head on the floor - hard.
My son is 11 mths old, since the begining his milestones are fast. He started crawling, sitting on his own and standing himself taking support of furniture or a person when he completed 7 months. now my problem is he can not sit at one place, doesn't enjoy playing with toys for more than 2 min. Always want to stand up with some support and climb up to bed, sofa or any thing possible. Handling him is very tiring. He doesn't sit for eating even though he is hungry.
, and was there was 5 days and then discharged. Subsequently he was normal unitl 5and half months with all milestone been normal. Except his head was not fixed, he was rooling over and all other activities were normal.
During end of 5th month, he has an seizer early in the morning due to high fever, no movement of his eyeball, hand and leg became stiff say for around a minute or so. He was taken to hospital and then was kept under observation.
My daughter just turned 3 a few weeks ago. While she typically talks in 4-5 word sentences and displays an average vocabulary, I think she is struggling with some comprehension issues. If asked a question she doesn't know the answer to, she will automatically answer yes as opposed to thinking about it or responding with ''I don't know.'' I think she knows she's supposed to have an answer, but doesn't know what to do when she doesn't get what you are saying.
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.
