My 2 year old still drools, speech delayed, can't blow bubbles or even round his lips yet. He is currently in speech therapy using horns to blow and massage. Anyone have children with this? could you tell me your experience.

Hello.. does he have verble apraxia? is he just getting speech therapy? Do they think it could be anything else? My son has High functioning autism with verble apraxia. No one can tell he has autism but he has a hard time having his brain tell his mouth the right thing to do. message me if you need to talk.

my son has speech delay. He will be 2 in January and he will begin speech therapy in a few weeks. my daughter has Cerebral Palsy with seizure disorder along with many other disabilities. she has been through speech therapy, ocupational therapy, physical therapy, etc. but because there were many other complications that interfered with her getting all the treatment that was necessary for her, she is in a wheelchair. she is 8yrs old and she doesnt walk or talk and it is possible that she never will! however the therapy will help your son, just tap into all the recources that you can and ask his therapist if there is anything that you can do that might help. I know that I don't have all of the answers but I can honestly say that I have been there before and I totaly understand how it feels!

My son (Now 8) went threw this also. He is still having difficulty but has gotten better with the last 12 months. All of his milestones were delayed(walking, talking, crawling writing). toilet training is the only milestone that was "on time." he is having a hard time in school but is receiving help. his reading comprehsion is poor.I was told eventually he will improve(which he has) and with help he will be fine. I wish you the best.

i was thinking the same thing as hayley. i am in a masters program now to be a speech pathologist.
i've seen from observations that speech therapy can really help... has the SLP referred that your doctor do any other tests? is it nonfuctional <- meaning no physiological or neurological basis?
