What Symptoms Did You See When Child Was Infant/Toddler?

[Guest guest]

I really need to hear from some of you who can remember what their

child's speech and language skills were like when they were under two

years of age? My son has never babbled very much at all, does not

really try to say anything by his own initiative (he will point to

something and grunt or whine, will not even try to say the first

sound of the name of something , i.e. ba - for bottle). He will try

to say a few words if shown a picture and asked " what is that " " who

is that " , but he only really uses one vowel sound so everything is

nah, bah, dah. He will not try to babble or say anything if not asked

and prodded to.

Does this sound similar to what you experienced with your children

before they were diagnosed with apraxia?

His early intervention therapist doesn't seem to know that much about

apraxia and never gives me a straight answer about whether my son is

showing signs of apraxia. I have had a friend who is a speech

therapist suggest it as a possibility.

Could anyone help me with this?

Thanks
