Guest guest Posted February 24, 2002 Report Share Posted February 24, 2002 Hi, I'm sure some of you may relate to how I am feeling now. Corey is 2 and is trying so hard to talk. He can say " u " for " up " , but when we ask for the " p " sound at the end, using cued articulation, it turns into " pu " . Now " bus " which used to be " bu " is also " pu " , or even " s-pu " when he tries really hard. He is also saying " dark " while breathing in instead of beathing out. It is so hard to watch him struggle with what comes so naturally to others. It was hard before he started trying, but it is hard now too. It is going to be a long struggle. He is so clever...He has learnt all his colours and developed a sign for each of them...for example " purple " is a sleep sign because Jeff (from The Wiggles) wears purple and always falls asleep. It took a while for us to work out what some signs mean, he uses so many and invents his own. At least he is communicating...I just wish that talking was easier for him. Mama to Corey (just turned 2) (I was Mimi, then Mima, now he's back to calling me Mama...much easier than saying mummy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
