DS 3 next month has mild speech delay, mainly issues with pronunciation. Anyway,he has decided that practising at home is for 'losers'! Any tips/experience please. He is so stubborn and generally driving me crazy!

Are you seeing a SALT?

We do speech therapy interspersed with iPad playing - he has a go on the iPad; I 'freeze' it, hold up a card or whatever, once he has completed his task he gets another go. Currently playing 'bugs and buttons' app which has lots of cool games like racing cockroaches

oops, looks like I have posted twice.. apologies

Thanks for your messages , the IPAD game sounds great, will give it a go.

He does have SALT input. He has missed out all his bilabial sounds ( m,b,p ) because of a suspected problem with his muscles, he finds it difficult to chew meat etc. His talking is coming along (3,4 sometimes 5 words together) but very slowly.. Sigh!
