My daughter, 3, has apraxia, and it is a big part of my life, though not as much now that she is speaking so much and overcoming it. M goes to a speech and language classroom 4 mornings a week. <br /><br />Thank you for an informative post! M is getting closer and closer to those 900 words all the time...even if the average person doesn't understand many of them...let alone her parents!Annette W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02498639468291720406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072851564194651702.post-63906629029255503582010-03-06T09:26:14.323-05:002010-03-06T09:26:14.323-05:00I had two students in my class two years ago that ...I had two students in my class two years ago that went to speech twice a week. <br /><br />The cute blonde was quite gorgeous and like Tom said rarely spoke because she was so hard to understand. One of my fondest memories was during lunch she said, "Mi. Myra, may i hab dum det dup pees?" Usually, I was pretty good at figuring out what she was trying to say...after she'd attempted to tell me for the third time. She flung her arms in frustration and made a "brr, brr" sound while squeezing one hand. My light bulb came on...she was saying, "Mrs. Myra, May I have some ketchup please!" I gave her hugs and told her I was really sorry. We both laughed and she put her hands on her hips and shook her head at me!Centers and Circle Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790847722834866885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072851564194651702.post-24883633936634889332010-03-05T18:53:07.624-05:002010-03-05T18:53:07.624-05:00Our baby girl, Arwen Paris, now 9 month olds.
Now...Our baby girl, Arwen Paris, now 9 month olds.<br /> Now with two teeth and babbling words (mama , mmma, acha acha, bla bla bla) <br />and also the clicking sound that she uses her tounge consistently.<br />We as hard as we can, are always beside her every 5 hours a day to communicate,<br />And I involve my mom and my dad to communicate with her.<br />As my experience in kindergarten, a lot of kids 2,3 year olds when they just begin to school<br />They barely can't talk or can't focus to listen. School is very important to developtheir language aand vocab.<br />Among with their friends, they can socialize . At home no socialize, especially both their parents have to work 12 hours a day.<br />The kids are only with maid or babysitter all they long. So home situations have huge important role about child's speaking development.<br /> <br />Regards ,<br /><br />Danny<br /><br />www.ourbabyarwen.blogspot.comRegency Kindergartenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816355913724331223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072851564194651702.post-66361510056455899012010-03-05T09:36:56.134-05:002010-03-05T09:36:56.134-05:00That 8 percent sounds about right.

Some of these kids are so used to not being understood that they rarely speak.<br /><br />I've had dozens of kids over the years in speech therapy and every one of them LOVES it! Parents are often overly concerned, but I've found that the professionals not only do a great job of helping kids with their communication skills, but also with their confidence. It's amazing what a little speech therapy can do for a kid.Teacher Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606781724784785338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072851564194651702.post-17191379372402849252010-03-05T06:32:18.496-05:002010-03-05T06:32:18.496-05:00I had no idea a 4 year old has such a wide vocabul...I had no idea a 4 year old has such a wide vocabulary!
