Our fd talks very strange and I was wondering if I'm just being overly concerned or if she truly is delayed?

For some examples:

We were taking a walk one day and we crossed over a railroad track. FD said, "What the train is?"

Often when asking about something, she'll say, "Was is is?" instead of "what is this/it?"

When asking about riding her bike, she'll say, "Can us ride us bike?"

Those are just a few of the strange ways she says things. I always say what I think she's asking and have her repeat her request in the proper way, but that seems to confuse her and she acts like I'm teaching her a foreign language.

I am wondering if she is in need of speech therapy? What do you think?

Hmmm, Apparently no one knows!

I'd say it's worth evaluating. There are a variety of speech disorders that those symptoms fall under. A qualified speech therapist would be able to tell you if it's a problem or not.

I would have her evaluated...the school district should have a program for you to utilize...for free.

My DS has a severe speech impairment with motor planning issues and we have used the school district since he was newly turned four...amazing progress in the almost two years he's been in it.

Good luck.
