<\/div>\n

I did a very hard thing the other day. I contacted a program to have my son evaluated for speech therapy. Asking for help is never easy. But we’ve been called back, and now we have an appointment for Monday afternoon to get my son assessed for speech therapy.<\/p>\n

I like to be optimistic and hope that it won’t take long to get my son on track with his talking. I do think he will need some help. Then again, with his habit of making sudden leaps, he might just do that again. So often he just starts doing something that I didn’t know he could do, or makes little leaps with his speaking.<\/p>\n

But at the same time, he’s 2-1\/2, rarely speaks phrases or multiple syllable words, doesn’t make “s” sounds, other sounds he can make individually but not as parts of words… I think there’s something for a therapist to work on.<\/p>\n

Admitting that there’s any kind of a problem with how my child is developing is tough. But I think that’s likely to be the only real problem.<\/p>\n
