[QUOTE="SRL, post: 314976, member: 701"] Just an FYI as you are pulling your observations together: one form of speech delay is that kids will have learned words and phrases but will use them randomly or inappropriately. Sometimes this even starts to occur after a child has been speaking properly for awhile because they've reached a point where the language demands are greater than they can compensate for. The reason Midwestmom asked whether the phrases came from tv is because kids with Autistic Spectrum Disorders will frequently memorize chunks of speech from tv or books and then pull out the phrases or chunks in random fashion. For kids who use smaller phrases, often parents aren't aware of it until they really start tuning in. I'd ask for a speech/language evaluation to be done privately or through the school as well.
