Re: speech /fluid in ears

I know of several kids that were like this. Some didn't even need

speech therapy to catch up.

Hi

I think a lot of your questions are one's we may not be able to answer

accurately. Noone can really know if your child will be speaking after the

fluid is gone from his ears because we don't know him and whatever other

symptoms he may be exhibiting that would point to other disorders such as

Apraxia.

I can tell you, however, that I have a friend whose child at two years old

had a hearing test because he was nonverbal and was found to have an extreme

amount of fluid in his ears. He had tubes put in his ears and within

several months of that, his speech began to blossom. He did require speech

therapy to catch up on the progress that he hadn't made previously but he

continues to do well. I hope that helps.
