Hes now 18 months but doesnt say alot of words. He talks up a storm but its not words. My dr wants him to go to speech therapy. Has anyone else experienced this? Im just trying to figure out if hes behind because he was early and hasnt fully caught up yet.

Then there is the mechanical part of communicating our language and that is speech. Problems with speech can include just trying to get the words out, pronouncing the words, the tonal quality of our speech, using emphasis and inflection. Problems with speech can be from weakness or spasticity of the muscles of our mouths, throats and vocal cords. Or it can be with the way our brain tries to direct the speech.

I presume he has been assessed by a Speech and Language Therapist? Even if he has I would request one again and ask that his expressive and receptive language is assessed as well as assessing for Semantic Pragmatic Speech Disorder and Auditory Processing. This should help identify how much of what you say he understands. You also need the SALT or Educational Psychologist to assess if he can identify emotions from either facial expressions, tone of voice or words being said.

My son is four years old. He is very intelligent for his age. He can do things (academically) that most boys and girls his age can't do. My problem is that he has this obsession with strings lately. He spots them, picks them up and plays with it. He will get any kind from sofas, clothes, the floor. I have a cousin who has a son who does this and well he has Autism Spectrum Disorder. I am scared that my son may have this.

s social interaction difficulties are caused by, and then the Speech and Language Therapist and Educational Psychologist should put together a programme and structure for school. For example, my son cannot find the words to interact socially. So the SALT will teach him learnt phrases to say to children as conversation openers. He also wanted to re-enact things alot, and couldn't organise himself in time for playtime.

Although the main issue or area that you would like to have addressed is Speech Language Pathology, the IEP should contain information on your child's interests (eg: music is a great teaching tool), art, dance (whatever) so they can incorporate it into the plan as a strategy. Also what behavioral issues arise during frustration or overstimulation? What will be the strategy to deal with those issues?

Many assume that language issues are associated with autism and they can be------- but speech issues are quite common with sensory kids and speech delays exist on their own. Social skills did not come naturally to my child. We have worked very hard teaching them to him. We did a "social skills camp" last summer. Very helpful.

Is your daughter seeing any specialists ie ot, pt speech and language?

It is hard to check hearing at that age because it assumes cooperation which lets face it most three year olds can sit for a hearing test, I would follow up with the pediatrician and the audiologist, the pediatriacian can give you a referal for a speech language assessment and they can help you determine it language is a problem or not.

I think as you have concerns you should raise them with your paediatrician. He should be assessed by a Speech and Language Therapist, psychologist, and maybe other professionals and they should all be experienced in diagnosing autistic spectrum disorders.

This usually accompanies being on the autistic spectrum and it will explain why he takes language literally etc. The Speech and Language Therapist should also assess his social interaction skills and put together a programme to teach him how to hold a conversation etc. He should also be seen by an Educational or Clinical Psychologist. You haven't mentioned he gets upset at change.

They used baby sign language to help my daughter she was delayed in speech and would get so frustrated because she couldn't tell us what she wanted. But then we found out she has anxiety that causes selective mutism so they went a different route instead of the sign language.

I think it would be great to have a Speech/Language Impaired forum. There are TONS of parents who post about their toddlers/children having speech and language issues, but they have to post on Parenting Toddlers 1-5. It would be great to have all of the posts in one place and be able to track one another's progress with their children and hear stories from other parents about their S/L impaired children. I'm an SLP and I would LOVE to have a forum for this.

I forgot to say, yes Semantic/Pragmatic Disorder is typical of being on the spectrum and is one of the Disorders that a good Speech and Language Therapist will tell you that you are looking at a probable diagnosis of autism.

t possibly be there, lack of taste. Language and speech becoming increasingly difficult and needs more pauses and corrections. Significant weight loss 60+ pounds in 4mos. Shutting in. I'm being eaten piece by piece. Mind. Body. Soul. And no one can tell me what it is. I don't know what's worse, knowing something is wrong or knowing you might never know what ate you piece by piece.

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.

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. If his delay is significant, early intervention is vital for him to catch up to peers by the time he needs to start learning to read and write.

Btw, getting a birth to three person can help with speech. He should qualify for speech therapy which does not mean he has autism.

The school district you live in can evaluate him to determine if he qualifies for speech/language therapy. One of my children was evaluated for not talking at age three, received services from out school district as a preschooler and then no longer needed language services by the time he was a kindergartner and then no longer needed speech services by the time he was in 2nd grade. I consider him a success story now that he has successfully graduated from college and is gainfully employed.

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.

I have a speech problem and what didn’t help me was everybody reinforcing that I had the problem. That only willed the stronghold and made me believe it more. She’s still young tell her she can speak and when people speak they don’t think about what they are going to say they just speak. And just let her do it if she stutters or anything just wait for her to finish speaking. She’ll get it down and it would help to find out why she turned out that way. My dad made me stutter.
