Re: my 4.5yrs old is talking

[Guest guest]

I'm ecstatic for you and your son...I too have a son that started talking

about 6 months ago and though he is still perhaps 18 months behind, it is

still wonderful to hear him communicate and sing!

Please respond to

Hi everyone

I just want everyone to know that My 4.5yrs old son(severly

apraxic) has started to speak,about 6mths back he had vocabulary of

hardly 8-10 words, we are communicating with him through sign

language, but now he is talking a whole lot(though his speech is at

the developmental level of around 2.5yr old, but compared to 6mths

back its huge development in his speech)

Yesterday he was singing to his little sister " Goodnight baby,

goodnight goodnight,I love my baby, goodnight baby " , I couldn't

believe my ears when firsttime I heard him singing,it was like in

dream.

thanks everyone

Archana-

How wonderful! I can understand your joy, believe me, I can.

had 15 words in January, but has almost 200 now and is starting

to say 3 word phrases. I was doubtful that we would ever see this day.

I look at parents who have kids with " normal " speech wistfully - oh, if

they only knew! is our first child, so we don't even know what

it is like to have a child with normally developing speech. We are

hopeful that won't have these issues.

Anyway, thank you for sharing this! I think it is so important to hear

about these successes. It gives us all hope. CONGRATULATIONS to you

and your son. Here's to further speech development for him and for all

of our children!

Warm regards,

YEAH!!! I've been on this line now for almost 4 years but have mostly been

lurking lately. My Josh (verbal/oral apraxia, dysarthria, hypotonia, sensory

integration dysfunction, some cognitive delays) was only using " ba " at that time

as his syllable to communicate - we did sign, PECS, etc., also to communicate.

We started him on fish oil supps on July 27, if I remember correctly, and within

3 weeks, he was saying words. Aren't those first words the loveliest things

you've ever heard? Now, at almost 8 I can't shut him up - still difficult to

understand for people who don't know him, but with a large and growing

vocabulary.

Congratulations - give your son a HUGE hug!

What a beautiful post! Congratulations to all the others who've

shared their success stories too; they give hope to those of us just

embarking on this long road.
