My nephew has recently turned 3 - he was very delayed with speech and sees a SALT but it has come on a lot. He can now talk, although it’s not the same as his peers in fluency etc, more like a just turned 2 year old. His nursery have done a ECHP and he has govt funding but I’m getting concerned about what’s actually going on - my brother is quite a bit in denial. There is not much I can do but be there, I’m just wondering for my own piece of mind as a large part of the problem, aside from DN acting a lot younger than his age, is the way his speech sounds. I don’t know how to explain it (I hope someone knows what I mean) but he is not able to speak clearly, his voice is very thick and difficult to understand.
Does anyone know what this could be a sign of? The SALT having mentioned it but I suspect they are more focussed on the content of the speech having improved. There are also concerns re behaviour and gait.
