Speech therapy update
7 Answers
My youngest son (who, according to the speech therapists, can't talk, as opposed to won't talk) had his first proper speech therapy session today. It went really well and he seemed to achieve loads in 3/4 of an hour. He picked the signing up really quickly (mainly animals and vehicles today plus mummy and daddy) and made the same 'noise' each time he signed each of them (apparently that's progress).

He is trying to talk but just can't do it - it just sounds like a series of grunts (but I know what he is trying to say). His hearing is fine (been discharged by the hearing people), he has no problems eating or drinking (which if he did could affect his ability to speak). They think by having signs to attach words to it will help him speak.
