[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 40196, member: 805"] One of the volunteers at the book fair today came in a little late because she was in a child study meeting getting the testing results for her son. He is in second grade and extremely smart. He does have a speech issue. There are a combination of 6 consenent blends and single consenents that he has issues with. The speech pathologist said there were several times during the testing that she was unable to understand him (although I have never had a problem). He also scored below 25% on his Grammatical Completions, Word Articulation, and just an 11% on his Word Discrimination (which the pathologist indicated was him repeating what he heard - i.e., he could not distiguish between "falls" and "false". His IEP will not be ready for another 30 days. The mom is concerned and wanted to know if there was anything she could do in the meantime. The pathologist (who is, now this is going back a number of years, the one I asked be removed from difficult child's IEP team because of her lack of understanding and bad attitude) told her she couldn't make any recommendations and "mom would just have to wait". I told my friend that I would address it here on the the board to see if there was anything any of you could recommend she do to help her son. Any exercise activities or books that could begin to help. Any suggestions? I'm on the run, just got home from the book fair and need to be back at school in 35 minutes for a pta board meeting. I'll check back in later tonight or in the morning. Thanks! Sharon [/QUOTE]
