MY dd has been having weekly SALT sessions for 18months, but is still struggling with lots of sounds, eg s j k sh ch sw sl sp st,to name a few. Up to now there has been improvement whilst doing a new sound, but it's then slipped back when we move onto a new sound. We're now covering sounds which she seems unable to make at all, although she can distinguish them when listening to them. My dh and I hve also noticed taht when drinking from a cup, she sticks her tongue out underneath, and she also eats very fast, cramming her mouth full of food, although we're trying to get her to break this habit. Does anyone know if this could be linked, or if there is any other advice generally. Her SALT is lovely, and very helpful but we do seem to be approaching a brick wall. Although she is a bright, happy child, dd will be starting school after the summer, and i am starting to worry how she will get on socially, although she seems ok at nursery.
