| My son is the same way. He is so smart. He points and understands what I say but he speaks his own language. ↑ |
When i was a baby i didnt talk till i was 4 years old i had speech therphy. I am fine now and have a 13 year old who has austium with very limited speech i was told to use sign language with him i didnt want to as i thought it would stop him talking completely but it made a hugh difference he started useing the sign to words now he has limited speech i know austium is not what your child has but maybe sign language helps with most speech problems.
Hope that helps. ↑ |
| hi . my son is 2yrs and 2 months old and he is also like your son and my mother in law said he is late . she always like to compare my son with other kids and said she saw younger children and they already talking perfect sentence .her constant judging and comparson annoys me even though the educatrice at the daycare reassure me that my son is normal ,that not all the children is the same . but i still want to hear a second from a mom who is having the same concern ↑ |
| my daughter is 2 1/2 and isn't alking. we have been in speech therapy and Ot therapy since Jan 09. she has made progress but still not talking just a ton of babbeling. she has been tested for aspergers/autism...and the doc said she was just speech delayed. we have had her hearing tested 4 different times and she is fine. am concerned she will not talk. we have been doing everything we are told to do by the therapists. does anyone else have this problem and if so when did your child finally talk. she understands when we tell her something she just won't speak. any input...anyone????? ↑ |
| I'm sorry. My 1year old doesn't talk so much and our peditrician told us to get a speech therapist. Maybe that would help. ↑ |
| my son is exactly the same he is 2 and a half and he can say some things but not much. the health visitor has confirmed that he is able to understand every word i say to him. when he tries to speak it sounds to me as though he is having trouble forming the actual words as he will say something vaguely close to what he means but to anyone but me it sounds like babble. i also find that he refuses to say a lot of words i know he can say, and tends to call things by the noise they make ie a car is a 'brum brum' and a cat is a 'meow', even though we make sure to teach him the real words. i think my son has attention problems , posibly add, but i have to remember he is only 2 and a half and i truly believe he will get there in his own time. but i do agree about the sign lang, we taught ours just as a hobby but he has picked it up wicked fast and it is actually helping him with his words more than anything else we tried x ↑ |
| Hi, my 2 year old son has the same issue, understands everything we say to him, makes sound affects, loves to play with other kids, but speaks his own little language. I've signed him up for speech therapy, but its a 10-12 month waiting list! I haven't tried the sign language yet, but definitely going to give it a try. If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know & I will do the same! ↑ |
