DS is 2.5 and his speech is delayed. We have just seen a private SLT who has said he has low muscle tone in his jaw and tongue and has recommend a talk tools programme to strengthen his muscles. He can only really say vowels and no fricatives. He is very frustrated but NHS salt won't touch him until he is 3. Just waiting on a hearing test.
Anyone have experience of using talk tools? Am finding it hard to get my head around it - can blowing bubbles and biting on bars be the answer to his difficulties?
