I'm not sure if speech therapy falls under special needs, but thought this maybe a good place to start.
I've posted on the education board about my 7yo not being able to retain spellings (despite us using the squeebles app to help him learn in the short term, they don't stay in his head).
I've noticed that some of the mistakes he makes mirror his language - e.g. He can't say R or TH sounds, so often writes the words with an F or V instead of TH. it's like he can't hear the difference between them.
We've tried to help him with speech in our amateur way, but think it's time to get professional help.
Does speech therapy sound like the best way to go?
I've heard that there are long waiting lists in our area (south Manchester, Trafford area) so might have to bite the bullet and go private - how do I go about finding a decent speech therapist? Any recommendations??
Any help or advice would be great.
