Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 My wife and I finally took the trip to Dr. Jonas's office this week and have her check my 4 year old son and daughter's speech issues. The trip is well worth it and Dr. Jonas gave us a lot of good tips on how to work with my kids to help them jump start their speech. Thank you, , for recommending Dr. Jonas. One of the things that Dr. Jonas pointed out is that my kids, especially my daughter, have been trained so much to use the sign language that they acquired thru their ABA sessions so they are now less motivated to use speech. So she wanted us to stop their sign language instruction. I know that there are two schools of thoughts here. Maybe she made a call based on her exam of my kids. However, I would like to see how the parents on this msg board's experience with sign language and whether it is definitely impeding speech more than complement.
