advice please DGS requires speech therapy

Oops! Old thread.

The child will be at high school now 🤣🤣🤣 I wonder how he turned out Cherrytree?

Would love to hear how that has worked out.
Does Cherrytree still post?

I had a friend whose child barely spoke at all until he was three, just grunted. As his first appointment arrived to see a speech therapist,he decided to speak, quite fluently. He was later found to be dyslexic, but I do not think there is any link between two problems.

Conversely the people that I know that are dyslexic are very good talkers, they seem to make up for word blindness by explaining stuff a lot.

Hmmm thread over 10 years old. Interesting topic though.

Please don’t worry, our son had speech therapy when in primary school because he couldn’t say certain sounds properly, he attended once a week for around an hour and brought home “exercises” to do at home.

He went for one school term, and has been fine ever since (he’s now 23!)

The speech therapists were absolutely lovely, kind and patient.

Your dear GDS will be fine, they can also pick up other potential issues and he’s so young he should do very well

Grrrr just realised this is another old thread!! How do these get here??

What an intolerant attitude, it first was discussed 10 yrs ago, no reason at all that it should be outlawed now

It’s nothing to worry about. Boys are slow developers compared to girls. My little GS had speech therapy but I don’t think it was ever really a problem. Now a teenager he never stops chattering.

Don't worry ! My son had speech therapy- made a huge difference.
Your GS is very young , all will be well.

Except the child concerned will have received the therapy but no one knows how it turned out?

I am assuming it all went well and there was nothing to worry about.

It seems silly replying to a post about a toddler who now will be in his teens?

My oldest grandson seemed rather late talking. For a while it seemed to be just a few single words. Like so many others once he started he never shut up!

When his mother was about seven I took her to the doctor for some reason. She was going through a phase of using silly voices. The doctor (who really had no sense of humour) asked if she always talked like that and, like an idiot, I said yes. He then started asking if I had thought about speech therapy and had no idea why I was laughing.
