Common Questions and Answers about Speech therapy kindergarten

Hello
My son has recently started Kindergarten and seems to be more sensitive to sounds
He was diagnosed PDD-NOS a year ago, school does not recognize a diagnosis and has him under "developmental delay" category since he is very "borderline" and while some specialists see ASD in him, others do not. He does have IEP, and teacher's assistant helping him through transition period.
Aggressive behavior and delayed speech patterns are common symptoms of autism. Also, consider enrolling your son in a speech therapy program. The sooner you get him started on speech therapy, the better will be the outcome.

s just that they utilize their normal speech and language abilities only in certain situations. Usually speech/language therapy per se is not useful for such children, though some forms of group speech/language therapy (focusing on the pragmatics of communication) might be helpful. Likewise, cognitive-behavior therapy, focusing on the anxiety such children usually display in out-of-home settings, can be useful. As you consider intervention, it is important to obtain accurate diagnosis.
Hm. Well, a speech delay can be very frustrating for sure. It can interfere with all kinds of things in a child's life from peer interaction to how a child expresses emotions to self esteem. Good for the parents for recognizing that getting help with speech is important and having her in speech classes. I'd practice all the things she does in speech therapy at home as well.
My 5 year old son is in Kindergarten and loves it. Academically, he is doing fine. However, he has a lot of problems with maturity. He tends to be extremely silly and goofy almost all the time and has trouble being serious. We've emphasized to him that there is a time and a place for silly behavior (not school) but it doesn't seem to be sinking in. I've noticed his silly behavior is worse when he's tired, so we try to make sure he gets to bed early.
Once he reached 2, and still was not talking then they enrolled him in speech therapy and now he talks your ear off. He is 4 now. Some children are slower than others. I would talk to your doctor or get a second opinion. At 1 years old, they should NOT go on any meds for ADHD. This would harm the child severely at that age. Their little bodies cannot handle the stimulation that the meds are used for. I just cannot believe that a Doctor would even diagnose a child at such a young age.
my son is now 8,, when he was in nursery they approached me as he never spoke a word would play get along with anyone thing is you couldnt shut him up at home , he went to speech therapist as his speech was slightly delayed more cause he couldnt seem to get the quieter letters,, anyway the nursery raised there concerns with the speech therapist and he got diagnosed with selective mutism,, he is alot better today but if he is told off he still wont respond,,, your little one may have the same pro
I went to my speech therapy this morning. She had me saying ahhhhhh, ooooh, eeeeh and reading from what looked like a grade second reader. The she made a mistake. She said, "Tell me a little about yourself." Now, being a complete windbag I went into a dissertation that rocked her back on her heels. She kept asking me to take a deep breath as i talked.
He has been diagnosed with ADHD and has a few other problems like fine motor skills. About a year ago he started repeating his speech. Whatever he says, he repeats to himself under his breath. It's a constant behaviour pattern. It doesn't seem to be a problem but his friends have noticed it and comment on it. Anyone else have a similar experience ?

ve written, it sounds like your son would benefit from special education services, whether it be speech therapy and/or a class for children with special needs. I would focus on helping him right now, as opposed to: catching him up to his peer level/grade level. From what you have said so far, it sounds like you have been pursing this through the medical community, which is good, but is he receiving educational services at all? If so, what type of education is your son currently receiving?
When she was 1 year old we found out that she had a developmental delay and with therapy treatment (Speech, OT and physical therapy) overcame all the issues by the age of 4. After the age of 4 doctors said that she didn't need any help and she could go to a regular school/kindergarten. But when she started kindergarten we felt that she had some issues, she was very shy and couldn't keep eye contact specially with adults (no problem with us the parents, grandparents or children).
raven, your son sounds just like a little boy in our church. His parents were frustrated over their child's pointing and non verbal ways, and of course, always comparing his behavior with other 3 year olds. Their pediatrician referred him to a speech therapist and that was the best thing! He has so improved in the communication department and is one of the most social and friendly 6 year olds I know. It's like he was released from his prison.
My son is 5 and is in Kindergarten. Just has his annual meeting for his IEP which was integrated with his parent/teacher conference. He's been in speech therapy for the passed two years. Good news, he's on track with his speech and he is on track academically; Not so great news, he's a rigid, disruptive student, who needs constant prompting to stay on task.
Examples of rigidity:
Must be last in line. Must sit in certain spot on carpet.
Hi, there is great variability in speech among kids age 3. Some develop speech sooner than others. However, it is really not a good indicator that YOU understand him as you live with him and most parents (especially the mother) do understand their child. I use to say "I speak 3 year old" when I interpreted for one of my son's. The usually criteria is if others (actually strangers) can understand what a child is saying.
Your pediatrician should be able to recommend exactly what type of therapy he needs. Usually this is speech and occupational therapy. Sometimes physical therapy based on the need. Let me know if you have any more questions, I know quite a bit about this.
Also, does he like dogs? You could use the money to get him a service dog.
They are often necessary for a referral to a speech pathologist. Things have also changed in kindergarten from when I was in it (about a million years ago). They do have kids reading with the expectation that they progress throughout the year with it. If a child does not progress at all---- a parent should be concerned as to why that is. This is my opinion. Giving a child some extra help along the way can ultimately build their confidence to succeed in school.
I am a kindergarten teacher and have taught in some extremely difficult urban schools. I have seen pretty much everything. My first guess is the teacher is fairly new to teaching 5 and 6 year olds. I say that because, parents are not usually the source of the resolution to the problem. Any good K level teacher knows the answer lies within.
Firstly these kids are 5 and 6, and early Kindergartners to boot. Impulsivity and chattyness is par for the course.
Is the first time posting a comment, but reading what she wrote, thought that I could serve you some help. First I think the best person you can give an accurate diagnosis is a medical specialist (to rule out possible hearing problem and so the problem of speech), a neurologist, psychologist or psychiatrist. In reading your comment reminded me when my son was that age acted the same way.
She IS very affectionate and played with other children some. The best advise I can give is to get her into ABA therapy and speech therapy asap.
There are ways to get insurance to pay for these therapies even if you live in a state that doesn't require insurance companies to pay for therapy in Autism.
She's now talking, not like a normal 6yr old, she plays with other kids and is in a regular Kindergarten class. If you were to just watch her you would think she is just really shy.
He is in a nursing home and a week ago failed his 2nd swallow test (the one performed in the hospital). They immediately stopped all therapy, physical and speech, at first saying they were giving him a rest because he wasn't making any progress. Later my mother was told it was stopped due to insurance reasons.
He should be receiving free speech therapy. I would definitely have him tested. Some of his behaviors reminds me of autism.
I am just a mom. I hold no degress in this area. But, I would not enroll him in school at five but I would for sure demand the testing be done. Call your state board of education. You may have to put the request in writing. They then have 30 days to respond.
And while it is crucial that you continue at home, I cannot fathom how they would think that a child with SID can just adapt to all of the sensory inputs of a busy kindergarten classroom after so little time in therapy. There may be simple modifications that the teacher can do to help your child function. Many teachers are unaware of these interventions or may be unwilling unless there is an IEP or 504.
