My DS has language delays both expressive and receptive. They aren't really bad to be honest but they are noticeable. He has no problems with phonic pronounciation it is more 'what he says'.
For example, unless it is something he knows well he has to try really hard to think about what he wants to say and 9/10 times it comes out wrong or muddled up. He can definately get across what he wants to say but can come out 'odd'.
He has ASD traits but no dx is deemed anywhere near necessary apparently. Am happy to go along with this until he starts school in Jan when we get rid of our awful paed for pre-schoolers!!
Anyway, would SALT benefit these types of speech problems or is this just practice etc?? He saw a SALT in May who just said if he didn't continue to improve to get back in touch and they would review so might do that anyway.
Does anyone have experience of these types of speech probs and if so, how did it all work out in the end? Thanks very much.
