[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 114047, member: 1991"] The mid-word disfluency sounds like an atypical stutter. Most stutters are at the beginning of the word. Was it consonants, or vowels or just random? The other things to consider - are there any physical behaviours that go along with the language thing? Not in our case, but some stutterers have a tension about them associated with the stutter. Michele, the "r" problem is something different. Is that for ALL his speech, or only the stuff he is ad-libbing? With the sort of disfluency I'm talking about here, rehearsed speech has no problem. It would be interesting to try to map the manifestations of your son's problem - under what circumstances, etc. Also, how long he's had the problem. Some very special people have problems saying their 'r's. My favourite author Terry Pratchett, for one. I spoke to the speech pathologist today, she's going to try to test difficult child 3 maybe next week. I know she is very busy; I'll believe it when I see it. Meanwhile, I'm going to get him playing 20Q, to at least help him speed up his word association links to aid recall. Marg [/QUOTE]
