I have had my son in school since the age of 3, reading and participating in his development. I'm concerned it may not be enough. He does very well in math but he is still struggling. what advice can you give me?

If you are worried about his academics and feel it may be a communication problem, see the special education coordinator, or the counselor - they usually get the ball rolling for assistance. if he attends a public school, his school should have a child study team that can look into your concerns. he will not be placed into a sped class...thats another process. but, they may need to see if he may need an eval or just remediation or extra tutoring. however, if the evals show that he is performing within a certain range, the team may look into special services, like speech therapy or resource classes....in any case, as the parent, be involved, ask alot of questions, don't be afraid if you don't know what they are talking about - educators tend to speak as if everyone knows what they are talking about...i am a sped teacher : ) so i know. advocate for your son, but at the same time, listen to what the team has to say also. but, begin by talking to his teachers. hope this helps.

Most speech is based on a pendomic cadence, that is we each speak with a given rhythm. Some however find in hard to develop a rhythm, and either stutter, slur, or slow as they speak. One way to help a speech problem is to use poetry. Not just iambic pentablature, but open, short haiku, and rambling as well. Shakespear has a good, rhythmic, and long rambling set of prose. Make sure the person reads out loud, not to themselves with a metranome, keeping in time. Though Shakespear might be a bit much for a child, any book containing long prose could be helpful. Hope this helps.

Continue to read and participate in learning kinds of activities. Have you talked to his teachers? Has he been diagnosed with a delay? If you have a concern, speak to a teacher you trust. Do you have a friend whose in education or is a speech-language pathologist. They may help to guide you through the process. Join parent groups as well. Unfortuantely it's hard to really tell you an exact thing to do since we can't see your kid.
