...The difference between language and speech can be understood by considering the relationship between a computer program and an output device like a printer. The software running on the computer (a word processing program, for example) is designed to allow a user to create content that is stored in the computer. In order to actually create a physical copy of the file, the computer requires another device: a printer. The printer takes the file and transforms it into a series of commands which control the movement of a print head, thereby making marks on paper. Read full entry

Hi there, I work in a nursery and I am currently working with lots of children with additional support needs most of whom have poor muscle tone. They also have Speech and language issues. Try activities such as encouraging them to blow bubbles - this encourages the development of the muscles around the mouth. I hope this has helped you out. x |

How can I tell if my 21 month My second child 21 months old
seems to communicate
non-verbally, whine or cry. He
says some words. The milestone
by 2 years old is 200 words.
We are not even close. I'm
trying to decide whether to
take him to a specialist. Any
suggestions would help. Thank
you.

i had 2 kids with speech delays. i would look into it. my oldest was 3 1/2 before she started talking, 4 1/2 before she was potty trained. then my middle was 2 1/2 almost 3 b4 he started talking in complete sentences. you would rather help now than wait till the future and him be behind. my oldest when she wanted something she would say "eehh eehh", wine, and cry. my oldest by the time she was 3 she had maybe a 100 word vocabulary. i would look into it if i were u. good luck |

I suspect my nephew has a I'm a special-education
resource teacher and my
3-year-old nephew demonstrates
a number of indicators for
delayed language aquisition.
My sister-in-law often refers
to him as a late bloomer, but
I feel pretty confident
there's more to it than that.
Working in education, I know
that he'll be much more likely
to receive the support he
needs if he starts school (in
September 2008) with a
diagnosis.
My problem is this: How do I
tell my sister-in-law without
offending her? I really like
her and think she's a super
mom, but she's really turning
a blind eye to this.

Just tell her what you told us - that she is a terrific mom, but you are worried about his language delay. I would think she would appreciate the advice since it concerns her son. My son is 3 1/2 and he was just diagnoised with a speech problem. I kept asking my mother-in-law who is a special ed teacher what she thought of his language abilities and she kept telling me he was a late bloomer too. I felt like no one was helping me and it was like pulling teeth to get the help he needed. He'll be starting pre-school services with the school district and finally get the help he needs. Talk to her and just tell her that you are really concerned and that you are there to help. |
