[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 222969, member: 1991"] Something I meant to emphasise - because of the language delay (and you will find this too, MWM), the way words have been laid down in difficult child 3's head is different, to how it is for people who learned language when younger. It also means there isn't the same level of connectedness between words and meanings in his brain. This means recall and word-finding skills are impaired, despite difficult child 3 now having a vocabulary in the superior range for his age. Vocabulary isn't enough; it's how we use it, how well we can access it, that shows the abilities best. It needs work, there are exercises and games that can help. I found the 20Q game has helped a lot, but only to a certain extent. But there will always be problems in this area, primarily due to the history of language delay. Marg [/QUOTE]
