speech
s very affectionate, hugs, gives eye contact, reacts to her name (nearly all the time), plays very well with other toddlers, shares toys, loves looking at and playing with other toddlers on swings and slides or will walk into a group of toddlers (we have friends with kids of a similar age) and will play no problem. No tantrums beyond the usual I can't get what I want tantrums but they're not all that common. She smiles when smiled at, laughs.

My question is does anyone have a child like mine who has or had similar development delays and what was the outcome.
He sometimes hits it so hard he bleeds or bruises I am very concerned about this. Ive heard that most toddlers hit themselves (which he also does), but I have never seen this. what can I do to stop this before he seriously hurts himself?
His speech is slow in comparison to how his 3yr old sisters was at that age but you can see he knows what you're saying.
I just get so frustrated with him,I don't like smacking my children and am unsure if I should be concerned or just over reacting,would really appreciate some advice and feedback if possible?
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.
m not sure what drugs or how much the mother did while pregnant but am told meth, zanax, marijuana, and opiates were used extensively especially during the first 4-5 months of her pregnancy. His development appears to be on target for now except for a mild expressive speech delay. I'm wondering what the research says regarding risks for learning disabilities as he gets older. Any info you can give me will be very helpful.
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.
Your son is showing some delay in the area of speech/language, and this may be in the context of generally sound development overall. If the pace of his speech/language does not pick up some momentum over the next several months it would be prudent to arrange an evaluation with a Speech/Language pathologist and/or arrange an Earli Intervention evaluation.
The ways to detect autism earlier are increasing. I definitely agree the earlier the better. Even if you don't have a diagnosis you can start getting her speech therapy. My daughter had been in therapy for a couple years before we were able to get her autism diagnosis.
He also puts his own speech together. But there is a difference in his echolalic speech that sounds advanced, compared to his own speech that sounds very immature.
When my son watches TV, if he hears something he likes the sound of, or he wants to remember it, he will leave the lounge and go into the hallway and repeat the sentence a couple of times to himself before he comes back into the room to resume watching the TV.
My son is diagnosed with HFA.
However, in terms of development he is still way behind his peers in terms of his play (he tends to chew a toy and throw it down, does not do any role play, has limited ways of saying when he wants something etc). His lack of development is most apparent when he is with his peers.
We are due to take him back to the Paediatrician in 12 weeks and she has advised that he may need to see a Speech and Language Therapist.
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.
s just because their is a delay in brain development, even without sensory issues, that their brains just need a little more time to develop and pick up those language skills. Speech therapy helps make those neurons fire a little more and hopefully starts them going to developing. I am not sure exactly if that's what happens, or maybe like I'm imagining it wrong, but well, that was sort of my take on it from what the speech therapist told me.
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.
My grandson is two years old and his mother lives in california, his father, my son, lives in Texas. Last year we had my grandson in Texas for 4 months and this year we will have him for 6 months. My question is this: Are these long visits detramental to my grandson? Is this unhealth for him to not see his mother for six months and then not see his father for 6 months? What do you recommend? I am very worried about my grandson's development.
