speech and language problem and shy to talk in college class?

We Answered:

My daugther who was living in Venezuela (Spanish speaking country) all her life, now in the states goes to IEP in her high school & English program in the community college pays by her HS. Even though, we try to keep English language at home when we were living ove there. Her English isn't at the same level that suppose to be if she would have grow up here. You should keep study more English, ask your tutor for English course. If you are in college, it may have English as a Second lenguage program, you may go there as an audit student to improve English

why do some children have such a problem with speech and language? does it get better as they get older? do th

We Answered:

That depends. It could be a result of a lingual disability, autism (as it varies from light to severe) or other speech impediment. You should make sure to speak to a specialist pediatrician or your child's school special education department. You can have a meeting with the school board to help diagnose your child and think of an action plan for him. He is 8, so there is a possibility that, with speech therapy, he could conquer his speech impediment. Again, talk to his school or pediatrician.

about speech and language problems with a 3 year old???

We Answered:

Have you done any picture communication or sign language with him? If not, now's the time to start.

Look into the Signing Time DVD's - they're awesome! So are the Leap Frog DVD's - and many of the Leap Frog toys/games.

The school district is most likely going to want to enroll him in preschool, where he can get a lot of peer modeling (the best therapy, IMO) and all his therapy services - which may include not only ST but also OT (occupational therapy - fine motor and sensory integration).

My DD is 7 and was diagnosed with ASD when she was 2.5. She is highly intelligent but is functionally non-verbal. She has a lot of sensory needs and is a sensory seeker. She's come a long, long way. Sign and picture exchange has helped her tremendously! School and private therapy has also helped. She also has cerebral palsy so that complicates things.
