GET OVER IT OR DO LEAVE!!!! My feelings exactly. I'm sure if I had tapeworms that were hard to get rid of, I'd be equally free with my wording.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hi. I currently observed a child with in a pre-school setting. The child is of three years of age. Adults seem to have difficulty in understanding what he is saying but other children do not seem to have any difficulty. I am interested to understand the implications of adults asking the child to repeat himself continually. Can you offer any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi and welcome! Was the child preschool age? I'll answer as if yes. It depends on how the adults are asking the child to repeat himself. Are they just saying " what? " or are they repeating some of what the child says and stating it back correctly? For example for a child with a simple developmental delay in speech the child may say " me doe potty " and the adult may say " I need to go potty? Is that what you are asking? " to provide an appropriate model without pointing out the child's errors. If it just appears as if they really don't understand this child and are continually asking " what? " that would be inappropriate and could put undue pressure on that child if he truly can't articulate his needs. Does this child have any form of alternative communication such as simple sign or picture exchange communication? Would you know this child's diagnosis if any? If apraxic I know there are some here from the UK- and there is also a group for apraxia and autism one of our members started. Many times kids don't have to really " talk " to understand each other. If you listen to preschool children some talk and some don't and they don't appear to notice which is which -in fact I've noticed that some will talk 'for' the child that isn't talking and say " you want to go in here right? " Do you understand the child when he talks? If you are the parent -most do. And if not -the parent would understand their child even when they are unintelligible to others. Not everything -but much more. As parents to children with say apraxia which is a severe motor planning impairment of speech -we become their translators -which helps eliminate some of their frustrations. Typically we have to look for clues to know what they are saying together with what they are saying- but overall we know we are good -because when we aren't...frustration -tantrums etc. And speaking about reducing frustration... The other important issue would be for the parent of that child to start a " communication book " if he doesn't already have one. In that book all the professionals as well as the parents write down what is going on in that child's life so that when he comes to school the teacher reads the book and can say " your grandmother is visiting now?! " and when he comes home with a stamp of a puppy on his hand the mother or father can read the book and say " you made it through the entire maze in OT today?! Good for you! " Have you read The Late Talker? That would probably be a good resource for more suggestions too. Alan or any other teachers or SLPs - do you have any suggestions? ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Is asking for the child to repeat himself a bad thing? It really depends on how it is done. I was taught by my son's therapists that when I didn't understand my son I should try to repeat back the parts I did get when asking for clarification. If that didn't help start to offer choices. I was told never to correct him in a " No, don't say that, it is this " manner. My son is prone to discouragement and depression so if he wasn't being persistent and seemed ok with not being understood I would just let it go some of the time, but I always acknowledged that he had spoken. I still have problems understanding him sometimes, often due to his strange use of syntax (word order) and sometimes due to his articulation (like the other day when he wanted to go back to the aquarium and kept saying " query-man " ) I then ask him, " Can you tell me in another way. " Or of course can you SHOW me. The show me became less useful when he got to age 5 because he wanted to talk about abstract ideas instead of the simple tangible things. Depending on the speech issue you can try carrier phrases. This was the best thing for my son. If I slowed him down and that didn't help I would get him started with " I want .... " which then took the focus off overthinking what he wanted and he often was able to fill in the blank more clearly. That can work with apraxic kids because it takes the " on demand " away, but it works with kids with other speech and language issues sometimes as well.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I used to have Mark repeat, repeat and repeat since I could never understand a word he said. Of course, I was stupid back then, had absolutely no help and completely did not understand apraxia. Result: Frustration..... says never mind..... slowly becomes an observer and a quiet person through the years..... learns to fade into the background. So: In the end, it was probably not a positive experience for him but at the time I felt that I had no other recourse. Now I wish that I had asked him to use a different word to get his meaning across rather than making him struggle over and over and over and over and over..... (you get it) to say the same word correctly that I was not comprehending. I do not know what to tell you because I do not feel that I handled this correctly and now he is who he is..... perhaps this was who he was meant to be; I will not ever be able to say. In the end he is quiet with a piercing sarcasm so though he is not verbose, he does have a tendency to be witty and funny.
