[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 150017, member: 3419"] semantic pragmatic dysfunction That's an interesting phrase. My son is delayed a bit in that. He's great at spelling and vocab but putting it together on his own, or gleaning the core meaning from a short story is difficult for him. Like you, we play 20 questions at dinner, and he rec'd an electronic 20Q for Christmas. It really helps. I can tell when he doesn't get something because instead of telling me he doesn't know what it means, he kind of zones out so I'll ask him if he knows, and when he says, "No," I'll explain it. I create a lot of metaphors because I write poetry and paint so it just comes naturally. You've done a lot of what you need to do already. I like gvcmom's idea to have him teach a younger child. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
