Please help i have a speech delayed daughter!!?

Question

I have tried everything specialist and everythign she is now 5 but still can't be understood.She also can not write her name.She doesn't know shapes,colors,and numbers.what do you all suggest i do??????I feel so bad for her

Answer 1

The fact that she can't write her name isn't a big deal. Many children can't quite write their name at that age.

If she doesn't know her shapes, colors and numbers it should be easy enough for you to teach her the basic shapes, primary colors (and a few more - like pink or turquoise) and the numbers 1 to 10. If you have tried talking about the colors or numbers or shapes, and if you have tried sitting and showing her what each color, shape and number is; and if she still can't understand then she has either learning or else some other difficulty beyond just speech. If you haven't already made it a point to spend time every day on numbers, shapes and colors; and if you haven't already also just talked about these things in day-to-day life (besides sitting down and trying to teach them), then start by doing that. Talk about the red car you see or the pink flower in the neighbor's yard or how blue the sky is. Talk about the four tires on a car, the five fingers on a hand, etc. Every chance you get during the day mention what color of how many there are of something. Just fit it into your talking when she's around.

If sitting down and trying learn all the primary colors (for example) at once seems to be too much, decide to teach her a color a day. Have "red" day, and keep talking about red all day. Tell her to show you what things are the same as some red thing you show her. You could do the same with numbers. Just teach her what a 5 is one whole day.

If she's having trouble being understood when she speaks, and if you did not get satisfactory results from any previous speech specialists, find another one.

Don't feel bad for her. Take the time to try to help her learn the things you are able to teach her, and take action in getting her help in teaching her what you may not be able to.

Answer 2

certain your daughters speech is somewhat in the back of schedule yet in very reality she is studying and is arising her language. notwithstanding an average 2 and a 0.5 year previous should be putting 2 words mutually e.g "warm water", "good female"and so on . She ought to be able to make herself understood actually pretty if she needs some thing. i ought to ask a pal or you in case you are able to to jot down down what she does talk in an hour - or longer. visual reveal unit how she asks for soemthing she desires, interacts with adults, interacts with different youthful little ones as all can call for diverse language desires. you want to draw close if she is in the back of schedule because she would not see the point of conversing (more effective circumstances than you imagine!! human beings understand her actual communique, yells and so on!), has a listening to challenge (watch her listening and television activity) or has a speech delay for even with the reality that reason (tongue, psychological or maybe only a sibling that talks non end as i have had one case!!).

Answer 3

I know this sounds stupid cause you said she saw a specialist, but did you check to see if she is tongue tied? My son had this problem. When he was 3 years old we could not understand what he was saying. One of the teachers at the day care he was attending pointed it out to me and we had him checked. He had a frenulectomy done (Cutting the tongue underneath) Now he has been in speech therapy for 3 years 2 at his school and 1 year private therapy. He has come a long way. I wish I had known sooner. Have her checked if you haven't already. It can make such a big difference.
Good Luck!

Answer 4

I agree with what the first person said. Is your daughter starting Kindergaren this year? Most Kindergarten teachers are well-equipped to deal with children who are at many different levels, and will also get your child any extra help she needs at school. Pretty much every school district has a speach therapist, so that's a good start. Even if your daughter isn't starting kindergarten this year, call the school and ask them about your options. Many schools offer pre-school or other assistance with children who need that extra little bit of help. As for what you can do, just be patient with her, but it sounds like you probably already are. Work on mastering one thing at a time. For example, work every day on just writing the first letter of her name, then the second letter, and when she's got them start teaching her how to put them together. Get some index cards or small pieces of paper. Put something you want her to learn on the cards, and have that be her lesson for the day. For example, scribble some red on the paper. Then at the beginning of the day ask her what color it is and if she doesn't know, tell her. Then carry that paper with you throughout the day. Tape it to the back of your seat while in the car so she can see it from her car seat. Don't constantly ask her, but every once in awhile just ask her if she knows what color that is. Praise her for even trying to get it right. You can also do this with letters, numbers, anything. Make sure you are reading to her at least 20 minutes a day. Take her to the library, to the park, to museums, all of this will help. Consider signing her up for a child's dance class or gymnastics. Give her every opportunity to succeed. My daughter just started 1st grade and last week we had her open house. The teacher said she has singing time every day because it helps kids to learn to memorize things, they work on different songs. And she said that sometimes there are those kids who might struggle academically, but they might shine when it comes to singing, or something else. Find what makes your daughter "shine." If you can do that, her confidence will increase and that will spread over to different areas of her life. Good Luck to you and her!
P.S.- Try making rhymes out of things you want her to learn, like the letters of her name. And read her books that rhyme, like Dr. Suess and similar books. My daughter learned the alphabet from Dr. Suess's ABC and her colors from Red Dog, Blue Dog.

Answer 5

I am assuming that she has started Kindergarten? If so call the school psychologist and tell him that you want her tested. The school will give her time with a speech therapist, and she can go into a resource room to reinforce things that are being taught in the classroom.

My daughter was the same way in Kindergarten. She receives services and is doing much better.

Answer 6

Your doctor will refer you to many resources. also, call the school and tell them about your daughter and her needs. They will assign you a speech therapist that will come into the home and also school. For her name, use a highlighter and write her name have her trace it often. Her teacher will also do that. Have her write her name in pudding, shaving cream, play dough, etc. until she has it memorized.

Answer 7

Listen dear is there more to this issue than you know , maybe she needs more testing,and as she's five now surely the school where she goes can help with her speech concerns. I do hope they are offering this to you , if not look into it , most school now have to help children with any learning disability. I do hope you get her help, it so much harder when they are older.

Answer 8

Talk to her pediatrician. He/ she can give you referrals to have your daughter tested- vision, hearing, etc. Also, the school could provide the necessary services to help her in school - speech therapist, special education teacher. I did it with my son. He's now in a mainstream class- grade 7.

Answer 9

she needs to work with a specialist and have extra help. Just support her, be there for her, and work with her at home and hopefully she will be able to progress.

Answer 10

You need to send her to a specialist and you need to have her tested. She might be autistic.
