Is speech a problem with kids who have hemihypertrophy? Nathan does, so it is a huge focus. I am not sure if he has another syndrome or if he just behind. He is saying more words all the time. Apple, NO, please and attempts to say the word if he wants the object.
His first speech class was a toy on the table. It had a set of keys, he had to unlock the doors with the right colored key and the object was that he would make the animal sound. He did some...he said locked, and abrir (spanish for open). Yes, Nathan loves Dora.
The Speech teacher then pulled objects out of a bag and tried to get him to say something. He spoke a bit, but you can't really comprehend this child's speech if he is talking. He mimics the television set.
Speech last a 1/2 hour. He was pretty good, until the lollipop for Peter had to be given. Then he screamed because he wanted two.
