I have a 5.5 yo who speaks quietly and without any expression. Do any of

you know how the professionals work with this? Since I homeschool, I prefer

to manage this on my own. Any suggestions?

We noticed this too last fall when our son was still 3. He started talking

over a year ago (now 4 1/2) and at our first meeting with his ABA

pre-school asked about getting expression or intonation into his speech.

The psychologist at the meeting asked " but isn't that a recognized part of

the syndrome? " or words to that effect. That shut us up fast.

A few months ago though my son and 6 yr old daughter who go to bed at the

same time started wanting me to sing " Gilligan's Island " at bedtime. They

learned it, and even danced a little at the end of the song. Now 's

speech therapist says she thinks he'll start to develop intonation. I've

also tried stuff like 'hi', 'low' only intonating upwards or downwards. And

he'd copy me, as best he could. So I think the ability, and possibly

motivation are there, but it's not coming naturally the way it does with

other kids.

As I understand it, floortime is a program of one to one interaction.

Please send me in a direction of using this to help my son with his speech.

I mean he gets one on one with his schooling, how do I use this floortime

to influence his speech pattern?

Thank you for answering.
