[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 3297930, member: 10177"] Its problems with multi-syllable words and formation and saying sentences that are the key to the diagnosis. My only exposure to this is when my 10 year olds school was harassing him about having problems (and still is) with words containing "th". When he concentrates on it and tries he is able to say the words properly. I told them to leave him alone, he is just being lazy about talking correctly and when his peers start to tease him about talking like a baby he'll straighten up real fast. I think he has realized that I was right, because since then he has been making very concious efforts to say "th" words correctly. He is getting better. Anyways, they tried to say they suspected he had this same problem, or one of several other possibilities. I pointed out they were missing the obvious one, laziness. Seems like I am right again, because he has gotten a lot better about them in the last two months. Completely on his own. I suspect in another month or two he will never mispronounce "th" words again. The only bit of advice I can give, is if you have difficulty believing the therapist, get another opinion. If your son has a real problem, that is a difficult fix, I think you'll know it in your gut. If I had listened to therapists about all of my kids we would have been making several therapists even more capable of paying their mortgages and such. Plus Pharmaceutical companies. All of my kids are doing just fine, learning to control their ADD, ADHD, and Aspergers just fine. To the point where most people don't even know they have a problem they are dealing with. All without meds, and withoutvtherapists, and without the stigma's. I am not saying you shouldn't use therapists and meds, etc.... Just be darn sure that is the route you and your child need to go. My wife and I have always had the ability to be home and give our kids the help and attention they have needed to be able to do it without therapists and meds. If your in a situation where you both have to work, etc... then you have to use your support system and let teh "professionals" do it. If one of you can stay home I suggest whoever that is learn the therapy techniques and do them for your child, at home. Then the other learn what they need to know to do their part to help when they are home. Yeah, its tougher. It would be nice to be a two income family, etc... But they are our kids. [/QUOTE]
