[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 11023, member: 2315"] Hi OTE, I am just checking back in. As usual you always come through. I too looked at the Edmark software. I am not sure if my grandson has oral motor problems or not. I would guess that he does. He has been Dxd with very low muscle tone. He is very awkward and somewhat uncorordinated. As far as speech homework goes, I do not think anything really is done outside of school except maybe five or so minutes a day. I had asked my daughter a while back if the therapist used a tape recorder and mirrors so difficult child could see himself when he made the sounds and hear how close he came to them. My daughter didn't know! she is really so much relying on the school to do what needs to be done she doesn't listen to me that she needs to be an advocate and be more involved. Her idea of being involved is the PTA and classroom volunteer. I tried to tell her that she could drop that and get more involved with grandson's difficulties and be way more effective but she doesn't listen. That is why I was looking for things my grandson could do on his own. He likes to read and does read really well. I saw a little gadget that they can speak into and hear exactly what they sound like. It is not expensive so I am going to get that for him. I had offered to give the kids art lessons and was hoping that I could work on hiis speech when his mother was not around. She was enthusiastic but then kept blowing them off. I think I actually had two sessions with him last summer. I spoke to his mom the other day and told her about some of the internet resources and she said Ok but I doubt she will follow through. I often feel like screaming at her and her husband about how neglectful they are in this area. Of course I don't but you can imagine how frustrated I am. [/QUOTE]
