[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 528587, member: 1550"] You know, speech is not just about words though. I was reading a few other posts and it reminded me that both Sonic and a foster baby we had started speech in infancy. The ST worked with their tongues a nd how to use them correctly. Does V. understand what you are saying to him, but he just can't articulate or is he hampered in both ways? My son knew what we were saying to him, but did not speak in sentences until he was four. Some kids don't even understand what is being said to them. Sonic would compensate by pulling us around to show us what he needed or wanted. He grunted a lot and made noises. When he did speak, he copied what he heard, often on television. The speech therapist did not want him to get frustrated by his lack of language so sh e taught him some signing, which helped stop raging. It was strange...once he started speaking in sentences, it was like he had always been able to do it. Make sure your SLT understands his issues. Has anyone evaluated him so that his issues could be presented to her? All kids with speech issues are different. To me, one thing at a time makes sense. Get him to speak, then teach him the letters and sounds. [/QUOTE]
