[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 429188, member: 1550"] Sonic had a speech therapist, BUT he was very engaged with her. She taught him how to make different sounds and how to say various words and basically helped him learn to talk (he did not talk clearly or in sentences until age 4 1/2). My daughter Jumper also had speech to help with her Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). You do not know for a fact that J. has ADHD. It is tempting, yet best if we, the loving parents, try not to do our own diagnosing. I think the speech therapist was less worried that J. didn't like her and more concerned with his inability to stay focused, which is why she made the suggestion. His behavior is the sort that, here in the US, they would also recommend maybe some other type of help first. If he can't sit and pay attention, there is not much he can get out of it. Does he have speech issues? Going around and touching everything is a big symptom of sensory problems. Sonic used to do it ALL THE TIME. In fact, he still likes to tough things that he shouldn't and we still have to tell him he can't. Good luck. I hope you find some answers. Sounds like you have an interesting yet puzzling little guy. I have a few of those :) [/QUOTE]
