He began speech after gfcfdiet, one word at a time, very slow progress. After adding enzymes, he went up to maybe 2-3 words together. Now with chelation, he is up to about 5 words occasionally. No complete sentences yet, but he has always made very slow progress because he is not a regressive case. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hi , My son will be 13 mo on 4/1 and really only still babbles, (mama dada, nana,)no concrete words yet and also does not say these words with intent as to who he is saying it too. One thing I do say to him is " all done " usually when he is done eating and I have noticed he says something along the lines of " ah da " which I am thinking he is repeating what I have been saying ot him. He may be very close to saying some words. because he also sometimes when he shows me a toy says " that " which comes out more like " dat " . I think try just simple phrases or words but try and do it consistently when she is doing something or just finished something and I am sure in the next few weeks you will start to notice if you really look for it that Maddie is trying to imitate what you are saying. Dont really know what the guideline age is for baby's saying an actual word tho, since my son does not really say anything yet either.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 , My b/g twins are 12 mths and they both say mama and dada but not specifically to us yet. Our boy does say mama when he's crying as if he knows I'll come but that's it. Is your daughter more physical? I've always heard, don't know if this is true, that they are usually less verbal if they are more physical and more verbal if they are less physical. Although my twins are just commando crawling and trying to pull up so go figure.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 sydney is 15 mo and talks a lot. however i'm in an online group with other moms of kids the same age and some of them only say mama and dada if they speak at all. I think there is a huge variation. if she seems to hear fine, and she's babbling I wouldn't worry. -christine > > Hi - just wondering if anyone has a 13 month old who is babbling but > not really saying any words yet. not even mama or dada with intent. > this is what my daughter is doing and i am just wondering if anyone is > or has experienced the same thing. > > thanks, > candice, ny > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 , My oldest who is now 9 did not speak until he was 18 months old. It turned out that he had fluid in his ears that had been there since birth and he was unable to hear us. We went to see an ENT and ended up putting tubes in his ears. On the drive home from the surgery he started babbling for the first time...it was amazing. My suggestion to you is to call for a referral to an ENT and then contact your states Early INtervention Service - he had speech therapy off an on until he was 7. It took over a year to have him catch up due to the fluid. Oh and he did not have plagio so it was unrelated to that.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hi ,My 15 month old sister has a very limited vocabulary right now but she is really smart. She babbles ALL the time and says a few words like Mama, Dada, Pepe (our dog) and a few others. Her ped is not concerned because she is very social in all other aspects. She can point to things and knows what everything is and is very curious and he believes she is actually quite ahead. We think that she just doesn't feel like talking and doesn't have the need to and so doesn't. Almost 30% of children don't start talking fully until the age of 2 (and that's medically documented). I wouldn't worry. If she is showing an intellect suitable for her age then there isn't much to worry about. Pretty soon she won't stop talking!NinaMom to Max, brachy, 7.30.06 Re: speech well, my daughter babbles and seems to hear us...if we call her name she resonds, if i say clap...she will clap her hands, if i say wave bye...she will, if i ask her to show me a picture of say a monkey...she will point to it and she loves to mimic what they call rasberry sounds. so i don't think it is her hearing, but i don't know...did your son still do some of the things that i mentioned? i guess it is something to keep in mind... thanks, candice, ny <aly81475 (DOT) com> wrote: , My oldest who is now 9 did not speak until he was 18 months old.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 i had a boy, and my sister had a girl, well anyways before i had cheyenne i noticed girls do things much faster, and talk faster because my son never started talking real words to like 2 i guess. i always had to rely on his expressions. trust me i knew my son like a book even though he couldn't tell me what he wanted. he started rolling over at 7 months, and my girl 4 months, and he was crawling at 8 or 9 months, and walking at 14 months. you can probably teach him to point things out, and say what they are. you just have to do it everytime. good luck. he will start talking. lexie mom of cheyenne, and joey Hi ,My son will be 13 mo on 4/1 and really only still babbles, (mama dada, nana,)no concrete words yet and also does not say these words with intent as to who he is saying it too.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Don't worry about having speech by five. I also heard that and was devastated when my son was only in the third percentile for speech when he started Kindergarten. After Dr. G and doing ABA and anything else I thought would help, he was in the 85th percentile for speech by fourth grade. Still very weird, but definitely improving. Now he is on a merit scholarship for College and recovered. This last quarter he was one of three in his English class who got an " A " on his research paper. I was amazed that this kid who lacked language, couldn't write in middle school and struggled with it in high school is now one of the best writers around. Don't believe what people tell you that limits what your child can do. Just keep working at it and remember to notice what you have accomplished as well as what they still need to learn.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 " Speech delay may be secondary to maturation delay or bilingualism. " http://www.aafp.org/afp/990600ap/3121.html However we have quite a few members who have bilingual households where only one child (the one with the impairment) is affected. We even have twins where one is not able to say a word but the other is fluent in two languages. So while again a bilingual upbringing may cause a temporary delay- you'd want to dig a bit deeper for the cause of a delay if it goes on. You may want to read up on this article on this topic here to start (and we cover this in The Late Talker too): DeHouwer, Amnick. Two or More Languages in Early Childhood: Some General Points and Practical Recommendations.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Our 3 older kids grew up bilingual and it was no problem. Our 4th, special needs son, has had 3 languages to deal with and speaks nothing! But his lack of speech is due to other reasons. I prefered to go with the Doman theory that brain-injured kids can be just as intelligent as normal kids (who have no problem with learning 2,3 or more languages at one time).

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 We are a Trilingual family and I have heard so many people tell me yes and so many people tell me no. I am glad that you asked this question because my son is almost 3 and is just now starting to really talk. He was almost silent up to 2 years and 4 months. They thoughtit was Apraxia, but CPSE is now calling it a speech delay and the EIOD even blamed the trilingualism. Any thoughts? ________________________________ From: Y <rosadodm4189@...> Sent: Tue, April 20, 2010 9:05:55 PM Subject: [ ] Speech Is bilingualism responsible of delays on speech in some children Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
