My son is 2 1/2. I signed him up at 18 mos. for speech therapy through Early childhood Intervention . I've had his hearing tested, taken him to a neurologist, taken him to a speech pathologist etc..
He says some 2 word sentences, like ...daddy fix...its mine..my puppy...
He says around 75 or more words, but not all are understandable.
My question is about speech therapy. He will start at the school this year when he turns 3. Right now he has someone come to my home once a week.
Personally I don't see that he had benefited from it. I assumed he would be taught to make certain sounds or say certain words etc... She reads him a story ...and tells me things like "When you take him to the store you can point to things and name them"....Duh? really? I have 2 grown kids as well as a 14 yr old. My husband has a Masters degree in Education, so I believe we have the intelligence to point to the apple and say "Apple".
It seems more parenting advice... than speech. What is your experience?
