[QUOTE="Andy, post: 372931, member: 5096"] I agree that if he is not willing it will not work. I know a kid difficult child's age (13) who has a moderate speech problem but refuses to recognize it. He does not hear his slurring, or however you explain it. Everyone else does. He insists that he pronounciations are just fine. So, his mom is not fighting the battle. My husband has cousins with speech impediments who have never tried to have them corrected with ST. If you do believe this is too important to let it go, you can always start him on the program and stop if it does become a waste of time and money due to his not participating. That way you have made the effort to provide the service to him. I thought the school had to provide speech services? I would check into that - you know how the schools love to hide the services they have to offer. I am not sure who you would check with on that one though. I really can't make a final vote on this without listening to him but if it is a minor issue, I think you can set it aside and focus on larger issues. Follow your mommy heart though - if it is leading you to go ahead, then go ahead with it. [/QUOTE]
