Our son is going into preschool in a couple of months and he is still struggling very much with the language. I think he understands it but it is very difficult to understand him.

He is around kids a couple of times a week now and hasn't picked it up more. We have him do fridge phonics and flashcards every day. We cannot afford the expensive Hooked on Phonics systems and we have already checked with our school assigning him a speech therapist but they said it is not special needs but language barrier. I really argued about that, but unless they think it is necessary, they won't pay for it.

I keep hearing how people say their children get into school and pick it up. Our son has been home 13 months and is still struggling. He has a fit whenever we do word and letter things, but we do them anyway. HENCE the WHINING. Any suggestions?
