My DS is 2 years old with moderate hypotonia. When reading the " typical "

sometimes the middle, BUT produces the beginning. My son does the EXACT

opposite

by saying the ending, not the beginning (even when able to say the

beginning sound). For example, the word " snack " , his response, " -ack " , even

though

he can say the /s/ sound in isolation and the /ack/ in isolation, when

asked to put them together he only produces the /ack/ sound.

How anyone else experience this?

On a side note, he is not able to produce the /b/ and /p/ sounds, in

isolation or with words. I " believe " his tongue protrudes causing him not to be

able to say these sounds.

Please HELP!!!

Hi,

 

My son does the same thing when pronouncing words sometimes. My son also has

been known to leave out the middle of words. Plus sometimes he leaves the ending

off words. He is now 12 and is still sometimes very hard to understand. Some

days are better than others, I find multi syllable words are very hard for him

to pronounce. He is diagnosed with severe oral and verbal Dyspraxia and

hypotonia. Diagnosed at age 3 yrs, but showed early signs since a newborn that

something was up with the oral muscles (born not knowing how to suck  etc).

Still very normal! Since the SH consonant blend in the Inititial spot is not

expected until the age of 4-4.5. So if the beginning sound that you're concerned

about is any kind of a blend, it wont even be expected till well after the age

of 4yrs.

On a another note: my 12 year old, he's also my oldest, had a slight speech

delay. We didnt start Early Intervention, since I didnt know about it, till he

was 2.5 yo! So by than he'd developed his own sign language that only I

understood. He was a typical boy and loved, loved, loved trucks! His sign for

truck was also based on the HOOK of a tow truck! He'd use his index finger and

point downward, like the hook..smart kid. But just wanted to say thanks for the

memories. His sign for our golden retriever was two claps, since I always had to

clap to get her to come!! He got speech in prek and caught up to his age level

in a few months, it was all he needed. My daughter came along while I was

bringing him to his prek for SLP after school. They saw her special needs even

as a newborn! I had no clue what was ahead of me. Sorry to ramble, but that hook

just got me remembering!
