help in finding book to help my ds speech delay

[bubblagirl]

cannot find thread where someone mentioned a book to do with tongue exercises

i was moving my tongue and making d sound this morning and he copied and made d sound back so i'm thinking he would seriously benifit from this but cannot find thread now

so if anyone knows what i'm talking about please let me know as i think this could be a break through if he can continue doing this

thank you very much xx

not a book, but if you google for verbal dyspraxia/nancy kaufman or look on here www.speechteach.co.uk/ you'll probably find useful info on this issue.

thank you was so great to hear him amking different sounds he has lost alot of sounds he could do as he learns more words so just need to help him get them back

Hi Bubblagirl,

sorry can't help with the book but I will bump your thread

does he have speech therapist?if so they may be able to point you to some good books.

i just peeked at your profile-im nosey.your ds is adorable!

hi kinder thanks very much

thank you very much moljam he does but hasnt started yet they have done assessments and wont be seeing him again till his 3 so would like to help him before then as its still 3 mths away and he could be making more progress

waiting for help sheet to arrive from last assessment but just want to do more for him as he is trying so hard would hate for him not to be moving further forward

Hello bubblagirl,
Like your ds my ds had delayed speech.I wasn't happy that i was asked to wait for an appt till he was three so i pushed for one earlier.They saw him a couple of times and said he was just very self consious when he spoke which is really odd as he is a really confident little boy in every other way.So we are due to see them in a few months time again.
I bought these dvd's and they really helped.

He is 3 in June and his speech has just clicked.He is chatting 19 to the dozen.It's a great relief as we worried ourselves silly.
It's so hard not to worry but i'm sure it will happen and when he is ready.Did you know Winston Churchill didn't say a word till he was 4!

thank you nobodysfool i'm so glad your ds speech has improved so much

my ds is saying so much more but no sentences or asking questions as such will ask for crisps chocolate ect but all singular

althogh today suprised me and said more animal choclate but not said perfect like that but i knew what it was he wanted so maybe it'll all start coming into place soon

have found this walk to the train station and he really chats loads not to me but car house white window reads number plate so we do alk several times a day now and he loves to see trains also so i think thets helping

thanks for link x

I'm sure all of a sudden he will just start chatting away.He is saving it all up to impress you!
Do you worry about it?
I know i was terrible and have only stopped the last few weeks.

does this help?

i always worry about it i see how much he tries and just doesnt seem to get there

but i've also seen how far he has come from my first worries and it's along way

still along way to go but i just want it to all be ok so i dont need to worry anymore and he wont stand out and he can chat with all his friends and me as he wants to

thank you hairtwiddler i shall have good look through that when he is asleep
