Re: [lists] Re: Speach help? far fecthed for this site?

[Guest guest]

She was borderline on needing help just a little behind the norm, she's a second

child so first child speaks for her, she points a lot and just doesn't speak

well even for her age. it's a huge worry for us. But part of it isn't fair since

her sister was talking non stop from 18m. she just found her words and hasn't

stopped,e very child is differenta nd we don't want to push either tobe just

like the otherm but to express who they are how they are. at the same time I

don't want my daughter to not be able to express herself to others who don't

know whats he means. We talk of a second opinion, we'll see what the new

brings. Thanks for teh advise. she was a preemie as well,s o I am sure that has

osme to do with it as well, it has with her teeth. i wonder if her teeth hurting

makes it hard for her totalka s well, she has 2 more fillings and one of which

will be a crown in a couple weeks, then to decide whattod owth her frontteeth

maybe once she isn't in pain she will try her s sounds more? One day at a time,

Right now Iw ould be happy to hear her say her name, sleep awhole night in her

own bed and not want me anymore. ahh the wants of life how they change once you

a mom.

Thansk for any help and agains orry if this isn't the right topic for this list.

please write me off list so as to not start anything with anyone disagreeing

since it's not about coconut, gso or whatever.

Thanks again for any help. off to do filing. it's only 9:30pm! LOL

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!
