Avatar f tn s a bit early to say. About age 2 or 3 would give you a better idea. Just keep watching and noting differences. Sounds encouraging from the sounds of it she understands language. I did too before I was able to speak. Just for some reason I couldn't speak back in a way my parents could hear.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Yes, repeated infections can have an impact on hearing. Your son's development of speech/language is definitiely delayed, and this warants evaluation by a Speech/Language therapist. But an audiological evaluation is crucial, because it is possible that the delay in speech is secondary to hearing loss.
Avatar m tn Your son is showing some definite unevenness in his development. While his motor development appears to be intact, his cognitive development is not up to par, nor are his social and emotional development. Ask his pediatrician to refer him to a developmental pediatrician for an evaluation.
Avatar m tn My elder son is now 3 years and 4 months. His speech development is as slow as a kid who is 18 months to 24 months old. He started speaking 2 to 3 word sentences when he reached 3 years. He can identify pictures of family and relatives. Still he speaks some words which are quite meaningless. He has a few symptoms like slapping his hand on the face or hitting his head on the floor when he gets angry. He has been very interested in TV ads since 6 to 7 months of age.
Avatar n tn 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
Avatar n tn In several areas of his development (speech/language, impulse control, social) he is not keeping pace with what would be expected of his age. It would be wise to arrange a developmenatl evaluation. If you live in an area where you have access to a pediatric hospital, particularly a so-called teaching hospital, this should not be difficult to arrange.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn his physical development has always matched development milestones but his speech and language is delayed and he is having therapy for this without much real improvement.i started to be concerned by his speech and language and understanding around 12-18 months of age. my son is always active from swinging his legs or playing with his fingers while sitting to jumping up and down to running in circles.
Avatar m tn Hello. I have a 3 year old son with autism and although every child with autism is different, comparing your son to my son, I see a few similarities but nothing so severe as the behaviors my son had at that age. It could be that he has some developmental delays, or maybe some sensory processing delays. I would definitely speak to the pediatrician about all the things you have noticed.
Avatar f tn I don't know where you are from but in Grand Rapids, MI we have doctors who specialize in child development. When my child was your child's age he was evaluated by such a doctor. He was also assessed by a school psychologist.He was placed in a PPI (pre-primary impaired) pre-school program which was 5 mornings a week, year round, through a very good public school system. My son has aspbergers. Some cities are better than others at diagnosing and then providing appropriate services.
Avatar f tn ) Certainly some of the behaviors that you describe may or may not be indicative of the early signs of an ASD (remember that, particularly at a very young age, there is quite a bit of variability in growth and development). Based on what you describe, however, I would not say that you are being “over concerned.” Below are several websites with information about ASD. You may find it helpful to review these sites to see if you think you need to take your son in for further assessment.
Avatar n tn It can also help you highlight certain problems, for example my son found it very hard to copy certain movements demonstrating he has some cognitive/motor problems which will cause him difficulties in classroom environments. But that is for later. Now you want stuff that is age appropriate for a 3 year old.
Avatar n tn Give him some time to respond to the therapy (at least a few months, I’d imagine) and then perhaps ask for a re-assessment. If his speech development is later assessed to be typical, and he is not showing any other signs of delay, then you can rest easy. If however, he continues to struggle, then you haven’t lost any time in getting him some help and might consider pursuing further services for him. Good luck to you and your family.
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 m tn Hello! My daughter who just turned 3, flaps her hand when she talks in pretend play or "reading" a book, or explaining something. That's the only time she does it. It's primarily only at wrist and it looks like she's almost talking with her hands (like adults do) but to a little more extreme way since it's at her wrist. She usually does it when she gets very into her pretend play or explaining something.
Avatar n tn Dear Doctor, I am a student from a suburban area of India and my group is tying to spread awareness among the people out here with regards to different development problem associated wiith kids of around age group 2 to 7. Many mental problems related to a child like autism, down syndrome, speech problem etc is our concerened area.
Avatar n tn He likes to spin things a lot more so than most toys,he has 3 brothers aged 6/4/1 the former 2 have had no trouble speaking at the same age as liam.he has just started nursery and he will play with some of the toys but by himself if he wants something he will take your hand and lead you to the object that he wants.I have had his hearing checked and it is perfect,I have also had him seen by a speech therapest and he will be reassed in nov this year.
Avatar n tn He also uses delayed echolalia in his speech. And he has Semantic Pragmatic Speech Disorder. So his speech development is typically autistic. However my son is very affectionate. It is not true that those on the autistic spectrum are unaffectionate. Some don't know how to show affection, others do. My son hugs me and tells me he loves me. Look at the diagnostic criteria, and if you still have concerns I would ask for a referal.
Avatar f tn , there is the birth to 3 program which is free or low cost depending on your income (for most it is free, and the assessment is free to everyone). At age 3, the school system will do a free evaluation and kids at age 3 go into the public school system for therapy (either in a developmental preschool classroom if your school district offers it or seeing a speech pathologist one on one by taking your son to a school or a therapy setting). If you don't live in the U.S.
Avatar m tn My son was delayed speech, he did not speak until after age three. He got speech therapy. Also make sure your son does not have infections in his ears, that can affect hearing too. I would not let the doctors tell you it is nothing. He will get more and more frsutrated as he gets older and cannot make needs known. Did anyone else in the family speak late, apparently, it tends to run in families.
Avatar m tn Then they evaluate your child and provide services to help whatever they may be needed and typically for free based on income. That is from birth to age three and then at age three, your public school system takes over. So, get this set up now. The private route is a developmental pediatrition. So, let me know what kind of professional you've talked about this with and what they said regarding your son and we'll go from there.
