Okay, I have a question, that I searched everywhere for information on and found absolutley nothing. Anyway, I have trouble being able to phyiscally speak when trying to say "hello" on a phone, or when trying to say "here" when a teacher checks the roll for a class, and when trying to speak on an intercom, either due to nerves or whatever. I have no problem speaking to someone either in person, or even during a presentation.
Not understanding (i.e. pointing to body parts) is NOT as significant as whether or not the child is using affect-guided gesturing to facilitate simple to complex reciprocal communication. This includes back and forth facial gesturing (i.e., a smile begets a smile; a frown, a frown). SO reading facial and body cues with his/her primary caregivers, et al., in order to facilitate rich nuanced preverbal communication is the essential foundation which needs to be examined. Conversely, a child can
, as I have seen many in my practice, as a developmental special educator, mechanically point to body parts on cue or follow other simple commands, and consequently typically receive higher developmental achievement levels than are warranted/justified. This is a BIG problem. It is how the infant/toddler is pleasurably engaged with others using preverbal affective (emotional) interactions to facilitate wants, needs, desires and (if verbal) understands/respond and /uses inflexion in utterances
, e.g., "Uh oh!" Oh no! There? There! Understanding intent and meaning in simple co-regulated back and forth interactions is the developmental foundation for language usage-and-manipulation of idea. Using words on cue or following commands on cue ("Point to___, "Say, ___") might appear as the child is using "language" but s/he might not be doing so in the most important, fundamental and crucial way, which is "social engagement." Meaningful engagement (or pre-verbal/verbal simple social
engagement) is what needs to be imperatively at first. It is often overlooked,as the child is beginning to imitate words..but doing so with absolutely no or very little connectedness/engagement!
My son has speech delay, at 4 1/2 I finally got him to tell people his name. He is getting better, is smart in alot of things, he can use the computer and is very social. my main question is, will he be able to funtion with limited help as an adult? Is speech delay something that is usually cured by adulthood for the most part?
@sexymama123407 Yes, definitely my son has learned many more words...and have started speaking tongue twisting "R" alphabet....he is in 2nd grade now....changes are there....but very slow...whatever he speaks he writes that only.....i mean he pronounce wrong and write wrong....but he understand it right...his learning skills are like normal kids.....waiting patiently correcting every time his his every word....still dont know where the problem lies...
Im 19 now and my parents said I did not speak till I was three, but i turned out fine... I think. I am bilingual, but i do have trouble with speach, my parents always tell me to pronounce my words correctly, they get mad, but I understand what i say. But when m sister tells me "this is how u speak....____" I tell her she's exaggerating, but she says she isn't. my sister is graduating from speech language pathology and I guess i should admit i have speech problems.
I disagree that a child who is not expressively communicating in some way at 18 months old does not need speech therapy. We need to measure the level of receptive and expressive language. If a child is not using basic words or wordlike utterances to communicate his wants and needs at this age he is already behind other children. He is already at risk for being behind educationally as well.
my son is 6yrs old doctors say everything is normal and with time he will speak...but....
he conveys everything through his speech which is not at all clear but i only understand being mother....other ppl don't understand wht he wants to convey... it was damm frustrating when one speech therapist sent my child to learn with children who cannot speak and listen and retarded....i need help as couldnt find any doctor/speech therapist here....he is going to school since last 3-4 yrs now.
My 6 yrs old son was seviourly Autistic and ADHD.Now he is almost in normal condition but having speech problem but his Recepitive capacity has improved a lot,and within 1-2 years i am confident he will speak normally.for more detail just watch "Cure Autism 100%".I would like to know your experience to solving your son speach problem.
@paridhirathore hi i wanted to know if your son talks now my son is 4 years old he can say some stuff but people dont understan him doctore say his fine i just have pre school speech theraphy but dont thing its working what can i do
I just wonder what's wrong with my son. sometimes when I talk to him, he responds properly trying hard to express what he wants to say. but sometimes, he doesn't pay attention keeping himself busy. now, he's obsessed with his trunks, winnie the pooh, he keeps asking for it even if its still dirty or wet, if he wants to wear it, he's goin to wear it.
coz i read from an article, most kids with autism likes to play with trains for no reason. he understands and do what we ask him to do, but up to this point, we can't converse with him like normal kids his age do with their parents. Sometimes when we teach him so say his name, he can say it but not very clear and sometimes he just repeat the question or word we tell him.
my kid is turning 4 this august. he knows all words, but cannot put the words together to contruct a sentence and deliver a message. at his age he speaks in 2 to 3 word sentences. he can identify all letters big and small, numbers 1 to 12, basic colors, shapes, animals, etc. He learned to ride his bike properly just 2mos ago. He's been playing with it since he was 2yrs old. he's very interested in thomas and friends, one thing that bothers me.
It sounds like your son might have expressive language delay. My almost 4 yr old son (in 3 weeks) has mixed receptive-expressive language delay. So not only does he not have the proper vocabulary to express himself, he also doesn't understand language well. He doesn't understand what it means when I ask him WHY something is, or things like that. You say your son seems to understand fine, so I would google expressive language delay. Feel free to message me anytime you want with any questions
I'm also going to put some videos up of my son soon, so that others can see how his delay effects him. Oh, he also has a phonological delay, which means he isn't pronouncing words properly for someone his age. For example, when he talks about his friend Michael, he calls him Mite-ul.
@pinkyred22 Mine has the same problem. I need help. I turn to everyone that could help me but my son still not say his name right "Ryan" he says his name as "bitbite" I couldn't exactly spell it right.
