Hi I'm new here and was wondering if anybody knows anything about verbal dyspraxia?
After nearly a year of me saying that I thought DS2 (3yrs next week) had a problem with his speech and being told that I was being silly, or the older 2 talk for him, or he'll come on he's only 2 1/2 etc, etc (a lot of this by a sure start speech and language assistant), he has finally seen a qualified speech therapist who says that he actually has quite a serious speech problem. She says that it is likely that he has verbal dyspraxia and will need a lot of speech therapy over a number of years.
Does anybody have any experience with verbal dyspraxia or know what I can expect.
I feel relieved that someone has finally listened to me, but worried about what this could mean for DS2.
On a brighter note he called me Mummy for the first time yesterday, he's always said MaMa before.
