[QUOTE="keista, post: 528536, member: 11965"] Since he's had an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation already, this has probably been checked, but it's bugging me so I'll ask anyway. Is his frenum normal? that's the little piece of skin that keeps the tongue down. My son's was so short he could not stick his tongue out. Had to get it cut. the day we had it done, his language exploded. Turned out, he just was uncomfortable saying the words incorrectly. Anyway, this doesn't really sound like V's problem, but thought I'd put it out there just in case. What you're describing is vocabulary retrieval. Does he actually know the words he's trying to find? Is he actually struggling to find the word or is he using replacement words/gestures. Son's teacher tried telling me son didn't know the words. I disagreed. If you asked him to point to the fan, he would. If you pointed to the fan and asked what it was he'd call it a wind blower. [I]THAT[/I] afterall made sense. The thing was blowing wind. Again, don't know which direction V's issues are going. in my opinion if you just keep working with him and naming EVERYTHING you see in every environment you are in, he will catch on. [/QUOTE]
