Speech Delay Update.

Thanks @anika987 for your reply. The Harbor region center suggested Pediatric Therapy Network, Torrance, CA whether they teach for the early intervention kids weekly 3 days with ST, OT and PT. Me, my husband and my Kid we went for a tour but my husband is insisting that he does not want my kid to go to there because initially they will teach with signs about want more food and for his name and my kid might only uses signs and never learn words, is it really so? Please suggest. Also, I am reaching out to our insurance to check about ST and OT today.
And we will be going India in July last week for 1 month trip. My kid was born in US and when he was 10 months me and my Kid went to India and returned when he was 16 months. When he was in India he watched iPad most of the times and we did not much concentrate on his speech, we concentrated more on his legs because most of the relatives commented his walking style was like my husband, I thought bow legs something like that but it was not so.

 

Don’t worry abt the past.

First thing is expose your child to surroundings and stimulation is necessary.Keep talking to hi continuously.He is only 19.

My kid started fluent talking slowly after 2 and now it is non stop.so relax.

However,never stop getting help.Early I ervention first evaluates and then an instructor even comes home and practices with the child.Most important they will clearly say if the child is showing autistic symptoms or not.Please use that help.

How's it going with your ds?
Just the speech diagnosis led to placing on the spectrum?

 

Thank you for replying. Good to hear the little one is picking up.

 

@viki123, @anika987 and @Vennella - On friday we got a call from Harbor Region center saying that the Pediatric Therapy Network has given the date July 17, hopefully thing will get better with my DS. There is a good improvement we are seeing like his eye contact got improved, he is seeing elder kids and trying to learn in the park (he is doing big slides, able to climb stairs on his own with the support). From 18 months he is going to day care and now he is 20 months, may be from daycare he understood NO word, whenever I say NO then he will get upset and cry for a little bit of time. Also, he is holding my hand and walking which again looks like he learnt from daycare teacher. But still he is not responding to his name and he is not understanding what we talking which is a big concern to me. As part of therapy will this improve?

 

Consider Homeopathy medicine along with your theraphy. It solve the problem easily. This is due to deficiency of calcium carbonate or phosphorus. Further also that it is due to your need for stability and security and protection during the pregnancy. A homeopathy doctor will solve the problem in homeopathy in one single dose of medicine.

 

Hi Viki123,
My son just turned 3 and is similar to your son. I’m doing all that we can ST, ABA etc.. I’m really worried. I read books for him but he always pushes his agenda. He never complies . How do I engage him to read books with me?
