[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 538630, member: 6557"] difficult child in training had a significant speech delay. At 3 he was not talking at all. Not a single word. After two years with the speech therapist he was so fluent that at the age of 5 he babbled on to the science judges at the school fair and won first prize for the category K through 4th grade. I can't tell you how emotional I was seeing him not only talking, but explaining very complicated concepts. So I do not agree that delayed speech has any impact on IQ, only his ability to show his IQ. The speech therapist was significant for us. Your child might have different issues, but I would receive as much ST time as possible. We have a family history of reading related learning disabilities (Lots of dyslexics). I understand that kids that are raised in a bilingual household are frequently delayed in speech development, but that by 2nd grade (usually age 6 or7) they start exceed their peers. I don't think that changing the school would help, unless the new school had a better speech therapy program. Also kids that have delayed speech are more at risk for reading issues. To help with that work on his phonemic awareness skills.
