Speech therapy - just another one to add to the list

Auggie started speech therapy in March when an assessment showed that although his receptive skills were above average his expressive language was behind by over 40%.  We are lucky that our speech therapist was his feeding therapist and that she knows him very well and she comes to our house twice a week!!  Very lucky!  Since she started working with him we discovered that he may have speech dispraxia (speech motor planning difficulties) which makes it difficult for him to speak clearly.  His speech has improved so much in the months since he started therapy...of course, it could just be that he is developing, but therapy has given him a clear idea that we are working with him to improve his speech and he is given tools so that he can help himself when he has difficulties - I would highly recommend it if you are in the same boat!!
