sarah i love your sig and the little cheering person

motor i have everything crossed for you

Im sure everything is fine Tina. Tomorros will be even darker than the previous darkest and very blaring x

I hope you are right Sarah. That hasn't been the case for the past three days.

And today I have finally accepted that my lovely DS has a speech delay. We will have to get him some help at his next well child visit in June. Hoping it's only a minor delay and they can help him catch up.

Has therapy helped him? I've been in denial for awhile and working with him myself, but I just don't know what to do to help him anymore. He says words but can't say sentences or tell me what he wants unless it's milk. He cried and whines a lot cause he's do frustrated. I'm frustrated too! Oh and he will say and sign more for anything he wants and then I have to figure out what it is he wants. Food, milk, outside, pen, toy, daddy, dog? Who knows! Half the time I never figure out what it is he wants.

wow you sound like me 2 years ago! He got referred for speech therapy at 2 and a half and the therapist gave up and said she's transferring him for makaton (signing) He already knew some signing by a tv show he watches (mr tumble)
In the end, he didn't makaton as he started to attempt to say words by 3 years old. He had 95 his own version words by 3 and a half. We did loads of guessing. If he couldn't say it right or we didn't get it he'd sign it then we knew. At 2 he was silent though. He had a toy dog he took everywhere and he used to act out what he wanted via the dog. The dog wanted food (he did) the dog wanted to go on a slide (he wanted to etc..) So we did that for a while then he grew out of it and started attempting words.

He sees a therapist at nursery and he has come on hugely since starting nursery 7 months ago. He is under additional needs though and gets special help. We are waiting for tests for autism for a few other things he does that concern us. Sorry I can really talk about this subject

forgot to add I was in denial til walking in the paeds office and she said we suspect something on the autistic spectrum...

Oh, didn't mean to bring up a touchy subject! Hope he keeps doing well. We have always known there may be something wrong with ds as they told us that before he was born. Just a hard thing to accept when you want so badly for your child just to be average/normal. He does better with signing than talking. I took 2 years sign language and teach it to him. He can say and sign lots of words, but only if I ask him to say/sign the word. On his own, he will say maybe 15 words.

That's what I dread hearing too. Ds has been delayed in communication at every visit. They told me if he doesn't catch up by age two they will evaluate. He hasn't caught up.

Hi girls! Tina I REALLY hope yr lines are darker tomorrow!!
Trying I'm glad you can talk and advise Moter on a very delicate subject
