She saw a sppech therapist in November 2003 who said she was average and said she should be reviewed at 2.11 months. However last Monday she saw a Paediatric Consultant for a general review on her health and she said her speech was very behind.
She DOES find it difficult to talk in proper sentences ans says mainly 2/3 word sentences. If the sentences are longer, the real words are filled with babble/stammer. I brought this up with the speech therpaist and she said it was normal and they will grow out of it.
I am now left feeling VERY worried and wonder what will happen next. They said she will have to have some non-verbal tests first. Does anyone know from their experiences what this could entail and how does the speech therapy actually work?
I have spent alot of time talking to my dd,giving running commentary on what I do and her activities, infact giving her the words and sentence as advised to do so by HV's etc but she still caanot talk properly. When she is upset, she seems to forget everything - Is this normal?
Looking forward to any responses which I expect will be tomorrow am. Thanks in advance.
