Maybe I'll just give the numbers: He's (almost) 26 mos, expressive language skills assessed at about 54mos+, articulation at 24-30 mos. (probaly not that wierd on here, but the SLP we have access to hasn't seen it)
There's no *problem* per se, it's just that there's evidence that he's reacting badly to the frustration of having such a big difference between his language ablity and his articulation ability.
I'm a SAHM, and feel it's my job to provide appropriate growth and development Schtuff (tm), and I don't think the SLP we have access to has the right expertise to advise us effectively. Her practice _ends_ at the age range where his language abilities are currently, according to her assessement.
We've been letting him sort it out for himself & I think that was definitly the correct decision to date, but if it seems that he's going a little bit less-than-right on that at this point, I think we should consider doing otherwise. But I'm not sure what to consider.
Clear as mud?
I think where I sound worried, I'm just over-thinking. And that's my natural state, no blood pressure or cortisol increases involved

(Jack'smom: his SPEECH is right where it should be, his underlying abilily with language is somewhat wildly ahead of schedule)
