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 m tn Has he ever been evaluated for his language delay? If not, I would definitely start there, by contacting a speech-language pathologist (the local school district is a great place to start, they provide services as early as age 3). They will definitely want to start with a hearing screening, and then evaluate his speech, language, and social skills. It could simply be a speech/language issue.
Avatar f tn We enrolled him in Karate once a week because we were hoping this would help him with concentration. These are both new activities. Every since he was diagnosed with speech delay we have done our best to get him extra help. He received special ed. services at the preschool and has recently been exited from speech. I have looked at Autistic behaviors through different venues and I don't see a lot of similarities, but I still feel like something is wrong.
635457 tn?1223222111 What is included is Speech and Communication difficulties which can either be delays or a speech disorder such as Semantic Pragmatic Disorder or Echolalia. Difficulties with social interaction/social communication that affects the child's ability to socialise and interact. Children on the spectrum can range from appearing oblivious to others, or odd, or can be inappropriate and not leave other children alone.
Avatar n tn It indicates a language processing disorder not a delay and a disorder is for life. It also indicates a sensory processing disorder (as hearing is one of the senses). Again it varies from mild to severe and the more mild it is the more the child will also integrate their own speech with these 'pre-recorded phrases'. It also indicates a learning style that is more gestalt ie. learning things in whole chunks rather than analysing elements of a thing.
Avatar f tn I think it has to do with the anxiety of growing up and leaving Mom for short periods of time - as school, sports, other activities, etc. By the way, both our son and granddaughter learned how to manage their stuttering behaviour - experts claim the best way to handle this is to totally ignore it and not draw any attention to the speech efforts.
Avatar n tn My son is 6 years old and seems to have symptoms from all the following disorders, according to his Doctors. ADHD, Aspergers Syndrome, Anxiety Disorder and Defiant Disorder. I can't seem to figure out what is normal behavior verses something else. He doesn't care about learning, following the rules or behaving in a socially acceptable way. He runs around making loud high pitch voices and acting like a 2 year old.
Avatar f tn Also if stuttering developed in adulthood, it can be due to anxiety, head injury, tumor, stroke or drug use. All these may affect speech and learning, and visual perception of letter. You need to consult a speech and language therapist to assess the cause of your problem. Do request your PCP to refer you to one. Take care!
Avatar f tn Honestly, it sounds like a learning disorder where he is feeling very frustrated. Also, there are signs of OCD in there with "having" to do things a certain way and then doing them over and over. Illnesses like that are often very confusing for the person suffering from them and can lead them to act out in different ways. Make sure to talk to him and to let him know that you love him and want to help.
Avatar n tn s also other related things to look for such as Non Verbal Learning Disorder and Auditory processing Disorder to google.
Avatar f tn It sounds like she may have either a developmental issue such as sensory integration disorder OR a learning disorder/processing disorder. My son has sensory integration disorder. He has trouble with regulation and can throw a fit easily (or used to when he was younger, he's got a better handle on control now), he had trouble with new physical movements, articulation in speech, processing various things, social skills issues. BUT, a super high IQ.
384896 tn?1335294331 t explain to me what it was really so I went home and did a little research and turns out this disorder fits my son to a perfect T. I also read that this disorder is mostly caused by mental disorders such as Autism and Aspergers. Which really scares me. I thought my baby was fine and just had a speech delay, but all of a sudden my whole world was tipped upside down when this news was brought to my attention.
Avatar f tn She just doesnt want to do their activities she want to do her own and when she want to do it. Her speech isnt that great she can form short sentences but cant carry alot of converstaions. Like " I want to see mulan" or "Mommy Im hungry". When you ask her a question she stutters a little but I understand what she tell me and her teacher arent complaining about her learning its her behavior.
Avatar m tn A number of techniques are available for achieving fluency which are prolonged speech techniques, airflow therapies, rhythmic speech, biofeedback methods, vocal control, masking, anxiety reduction, attitudinal therapy and trial therapy. Speech therapy involves learning new speech techniques (such as speaking syllable-by-syllable) and modifying the present ways of speaking (such as reducing the rate of speech).
Avatar n tn He is 100% when it comes to his physical skills, has no obsessive habits, gives eye contact and shows no other signs of autism other then the speech delay. But getting him to talk is a slow process. He shows signs of learning and picking up new things. He babbles and has about 8 - 9 words. My wife has ordered many products such as 'Bumble Bee' and 'Baby Can Read', which should arrive soon.
Avatar f tn I had similar thoughts about my son. If you have a speech disorder, sensory integration disorder, auditory processing disorder etc that are separate diagnosis - do they add up to autism? I think my son is autistic because he does meet the criteria. There are some areas he does quite well at, and like you, if he improves he could well lose his diagnosis as well. I don't understand why professionals are so black and white about things (sometimes I find them more autistic than my son!).
Avatar f tn Now, at the very least he displays a disorder of speech/language, and this needs to be evaluated. He might also display a learning disability. Whether or not he displays any condition along the Pervasive Developmental Disorder spectrum can only be determined by an evaluation with a pediatric menatl health professional.
