Not knowing a THING about your situation, I just want to say, hang in there. And that you might want to look into whether the articulation issues have anything to do with Sensory Processing. My son did a Listening Program which made a big difference in his articulation. I didn't believe it would, really, but it did. The Mozart CD was the most effective.Please forgive me if you've heard this all before and I am poking in where I have no business.

I too dread him heading off to nursery and struggling to be understood. As well as being frustrating I think it must be the most demoralising thing they experience in their young lives. Ned tries soooo hard to be understood. I think he's making progress but it's hard to tell from this close. I guess the only consolation I'm holding onto is the fact that children do stop this. I mean - everyone says not to stress about dummies or comfort objects in that "you never see an 18 year old with them" kind of way, but it's actually true with pronuciation. You see kids growing up with poor vocab or understanding but not pronunciation and I guess that makes me feel a little relaxed about it when I'm not stressing about it! My husband is also dyslexic - probably; he's not been diagnosed but his lecturers at uni all said he definitely was and he most certainly can't spell.....

Dyslexia runs in my husband's family and we have been looking out for it but it has never occurred to me that it might affect his early speech. I'll look into this so thanks. It's also good to know that your nephew's speech corrected intself.Please feel free to comment on the previous post as I'm really curious to know whether people think staying at home is hard, even if they disagree with me - I can take it!

He is now 11 and has been diagnosed dyslexic. The people who diagnosed him mentioned that the speech problems (which righted themselves eventually) were an early warning sign of his "mixed-up" brain. Just thought I'd let you know so you could keep an eye on it. I actually came here to comment on your last post, which I loved. :) Now I forgot what I was going to say.
