Re: Speach help? far fecthed for this site?

[Guest guest]

Speaking from both professional expertise and personal

experience, get your daughter working with a pediatric

Speech and Language Pathologist NOW. " Doesn't see the

need " or something like that, is FAR too often

believed to be true by parents, or more frighteningly

by professionals, but it generally is the start of

expressive language struggles and delays, whether

articulatory or processing difficulties. This is NOT

typical and should NOT be treated with a

" wait-and-see " approach.

If SL therapy was not strongly recommended by the

evaluator, he/she was seriously mistaken. Early

intervention can help minimize or even avoid MUCH more

significant problems later.

Good luck!

Sugar plus vitamins destroys the value of the vitamin C. Not sure

about other vitamins.

Sometimes a deficiency in Taurine can cause problems with developement

of the central nervous system in young children.

if there's any speech therapists in the group that might know of some food or

something that might help my daughter say her s's better. She was 2 in October

and she doesn't talk half as much as her sister did at this age. she never says

sentences. we had her evaluated and she was borderline for her age. her

comprehension was far above, but she won't speak. we believe she can she just

doesn't see the need. Again I realize this isn't the best forum for this and

apologize for that. I just thought where we are all about feeling good and

taking care of our bodies. and speech is a big part of it... I don't know if any

food, herb or whatnot would help with speech development? is that far fetched? I

started her on ovaltine today, but she hates it. LOL ( just like daddy LOL) I

know it has sugar but it also has a lot of vitamins and she is anemic still.
