I have been a bit concerned about my DS1's speech for a while - he mumbles and mutters and finds it hard to articulate what he wants to say, I'm now wondering whether to get him to see a speech and language therapist. It's sometimes difficult for me to understand him and when he meets new people I know they can't understand him some of the time either. DS2 (17 months younger) is far more clearly spoken... Does anyone know if this is something I should sort privately or should I refer to school or our GP? Thanks.
