[GCS]

We've been home 2.5 years and I did not realize we were still simplifying a lot of our vocab for our son. When we watched him getting tested for auditory problems with SID we turned to each other and said, "we never talk to him like that".

I don't know how it happened. If we got into the habit at first because of the language barrier and then it stuck or if we just have first time parent syndrome and didnt realize we were not speaking at an age appropriate level with him.

He's in speech therapy now and we are working with him to speak in more complex sentences and not dumb things down for him.

I would suggest speech therapy for her and to work at home at expanding her vocabulary and sentence formation skills.

It takes time. But they catch up very fast once it clicks for them.
