Speech Therapy Req

I don't know anyone in BR, but they should offer it once they are in Pre-K.

And I wanted to say, you are a good parent taking the initiative to get it corrected. I still talk with a lisp because I stopped after 5th grade and had a really bad therapist. Getting it corrected will help them more than you ever know.

I’d try to help out but I don’t have my occupational therapy license yet

And yes we can help with some things in speech

I’d suggest early steps if possible.

If borderline I’d seek a 2nd opinion if possible

How many words is he saying? Is there a lisp or slur or not able to form words? Is more than one language being spoken because that can cause a delay

Please keep in mind children’s language explosion can occur bt 18-30 months so it’s okay to err on the side of caution but act patiently too.

It’s great that you’re showing initiative and are concerned, but if he’s babbling and articulate his wants and expressing himself by other means such as pointing and grabbing objects then this may not be a long term problem

My daughter just turned 2 and says a little more than 20 words but we’re also a bilingual household. She does understand English and some Spanish too

It intrigues me how children develop so differently during g the first 3 years

My daughter was ahead on every milestone except speech, was walking before 10 months running by 11 months
