1714540 tn?1326830479 Ask for a full evaluation--------- occupational therapist, speech and psychological. If your son is having trouble in preschool, this is really important. That would mean that he may have an issue that the early intervention program can help with. If the issues are mainly at home, then that would be more of an issue of his enviroment and I would try some changes in parenting style. So, I would talk to his doctor and then ask for a formal evaluation.
443100 tn?1210621862 I need help. Should i have to sent to preschool mix class? Should i have to test autism right now or wait for 4 months?
5549102 tn?1376522673 Yes, I've read that. I think that a mother should always keep their eye on things. Speech in the early years is tricky though. Many speech pathologists don't evaluate until a child is three unless they have eating issues. I would consider a half day one time per week preschool for him though. Gives a really good perspective and an extra set of eyes from the valuable insight of a person that sees lots of kids. My son did preschool at age 2.
Avatar f tn 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. He loves to be around other kids, he is very affectionate, and loves to be read to.
Avatar f tn Yes speech therapy is the way to go, perhaps get her a therapist that isnt school related .Have you spoken to her pediatrician about it ?
Avatar n tn My daughter went to developmental preschool this past year and will be going to a regular private preschool this fall. She has made tremendous advances between the Birth to 3 program and then the developmental preschool through the public school system this past school year. She will be 4 this fall.
500419 tn?1220124743 they say he needs speech therphy I can take him to speech 1-2 days a week or I can take him to Headstart which is a program to get him ready to go to preK and they will do speech to help him to talk as well which will help him to learn as well SO should i just take him to speech for now or should I put him in the headstart program which is normal school hours 8-2:30
Avatar m tn Have you had your daughter evaluated by a speech and language pathologist? There are three parts of speech---- articulation, and expressive and receptive speech. The last two are the areas that would affect a conversation. I would have this checked first. Your pedicatrician will be happy to give you a referrel for this. Having difficulties in receptive and expressive speech would surely cause some social interaction problems especially with age mates.
Avatar n tn Psychologist, Speech Pathologist) as being high functioning autistic sepectrum disorder. He will need an aid in preschool during free-play to help him learn how to integrate in groups. But i just wanted other readers to know that if I had been a stay-at-home-mom i would have never had noticed a problem. It was only in the preschool setting that these issues became obvious.
Avatar n tn We thought that perhaps his speech delays are causing frustration...we are getting him evaluated but we also moved him to a new school a few days ago...and same complaints. We've observed him in school...he prefers to do his own thing...but at home he listens to most instructions, says "want to play with mommy", and loves to play with a 2 1/2 year old boy who is our neighbour.
Avatar m tn The problem is, that they are blood-curdling screams. We have her in Preschool and she is also receiving help as she has a speech impairment. She is also eating (or trying to) everything she gets in her hands (crayons, pencils, colored pencils, etc...). Also in the mornings, my wife will make her the breakfast she wants, but she won't eat it, instead picking up something inedible. We've been to the pediatrician several times and have an upcoming appt.

Avatar m tn He had tubes in his ears at 13 months and a year later he had a second set because the first set got lodged with fluid behind them and we are not sure how long they are were like that. He just started preschool and plays with the kids very well, but he doesn't really want to take part in the learning he would rather be up playing. This is the first time he has been away from home really without me since he was born.
Avatar f tn You mention that your son has a speech delay and difficulty in communicating. Have you taken him to get help - as a speech and language path? It is always prudent to seek advice as soon as possible - if your child does not require this help, then the SLP will let you know. But, if your son does require help, the sooner the help, the better and faster he will improve. All the best ...
Avatar f tn Till now he is not able talk properly. Recently with the help of a speech therapyst he has developed eye to eye contact, recognising colour, know all the alphabets, counts up to ten, recognises the family photo and name them. very fond of music and dance, loves to play with other children. utters words which one can not understand. can any one suggest what to do for his speech development.
Avatar m tn But they are at least better set up to help children with special needs, such as delayed speech and motor skills. Developmental preschool is freely provided by the public school system, provided the child qualifies. I'm starting to go through this process for my daughter who will be turning 3 soon. I am hoping to get her started the week she turns 3, so she can transition from the Birth to 3 program straight into Developmental Preschool where they will offer a speech therapist.
1310290 tn?1273587760 He talks a lot but we are not able to understand what he says, not sure if it is too early to consider speech pathologist or therapist? Kindly help, I do not want to put our son through unnecessary torture, but want to help him get over any problem (if he has). On the positive side, he always sings, catches up tunes of his favorite songs pretty well.
Avatar n tn Not easy is it this ole parenting thing, but worth it,I am wondering if he gets plenty of positive attention, and how he gets on with his sister, does he go to preschool, are there any issues there with his behavior,also get his speech checked out there may be reason there for speech therapy,ask your Doctor what he thinks.
Avatar f tn We found many ways to help him in class. One thing that helped in preschool and outside of the class was doing 'sensory activities" that they call 'heavy work'. There is a web site that gives a good list of these types of things called SensoryProcessingDisorder. Basically, they are like physical activity, deep pressure and muscle work. Examples would be animal walks before school especially the crab walk, the bear walk, leap frog, etc.
1006035 tn?1485575897 When my son was just a little younger than yours, he started preschool. He had some articulation issues with speech which made things difficult for him. If people couldn't understand him, he didn't want to speak. It made casual conversing difficult. We had our son evaluated by an occupational therapist and he was diagnosed with sensory integration disorder. This is an issue with the nervous system.
Avatar f tn If he is in another preschool or daycare you like, he could use the school speech therapist for speech as well.
20896457 tn?1592763839 With that said, my son has something called sensory processing disorder. Tripping frequently is a sign as is garbled speech. When you do a speech eval, they check the three areas of speech which are articulation (the ability to understand the words she is saying), expressive language (ability to formulate what to say to others) and receptive language (ability to understand and process what is said to her).
Avatar f tn suggested occupational therapy then speech therapy. She said that some kids who have speech delays are showing some Autistic traits that will disappear later on. My husband doesn't want him to start any therapies yet because he said he's still young & he wants to give him a time because he believes that it's not Autism. We enrolled him to a toddler class instead so he can interact with other kids because he's our only child & he doesn't have playmates.
Avatar n tn Such as if she has language delays (common for autism) she might qualify for speech therapy or to go to a developmental preschool through the public school system where there is a speech therapist and other therapists to work with children. Does she have any sensory issues that she would need an occupational therapist to work with her on?
