I actually wish we would have started speech earlier for Brooklyn She started a bit after 3 and was in it for almost 3 yrs...She was tested at 2 but the comment was she is just so darn cute and look she can build blocks...she will be fine...she would and still does leave the front of words off...and still calls milk....nilk...She has more of an articulation issue....Of the 4 or 5 speech therapists we had ....we actually only had ONE that was excellent and saw the issues and we made progress....she of course moved and every speech therapist after that wanted to just tidy up the rough edges and move on.... I was not impressed with our speech therapy services...and we have great insurance that covers alot of speech therapy...we did the public school setting as well when she was 3...but didnt stay long.....I just believe that moms know in their gut if there is an issue or not....We are going to start doing some neurological developement reorganization because after lots of research I believe that there is work that needs to be done in connecting that part of the brain for speech with some exercises....it just shorts circuits I believe....If you do not see your childs speech improving alot over time....I would definetly find a excellent speech therapist.....
