Hi ladies,
I hope you don't mind me posting...you just seem like you might have the best answers for me.
My son is 5 1/2 years old. Since he's started talking, he's always had a slight speech impairment. At first we thought it was something he would grow out off, but we kept an eye on him. Once he hit 4-year-old kindergarten, we realized there was a problem with his speech and started to take steps towards finding out what the problem was. He's in kindergarten now and has finally been refered for a speech evaluation. In the meantime, my mom had noticed that it doesn't seem like my son can hear things properly and therefore doesn't say them properly. I've noticed this more lately too. So I talked to his doctor and he's been referred for a hearing evaluation.
I don't know what to expect or how to kind of help him prepare for the test. I want him to feel comfortable and everything (he doesn't like new situations a whole lot and can easily get upset if he gets too nervous). Does anyone have any experience and can offer me some advice? Thanks ladies.
