Yeah, it's age appropriate, things like your example. Sometimes he says a sentence inside out, but rarely. He now uses all the appropriate "supporting" words like 'a' and 'the' that he hadn't been doing even after he was discharged from speech.

I struggle to understand this more than they did in the clinical setting I suspect because I'm rarely sitting in a quiet room seated directly opposite him, watching his every move. I suspect he also knows he mumbles a lot and that people can't understand him, so he speaks more clearly to strangers.

The school psychologist blew me off. He won't tell me the agenda for the meeting: "Talk to your classroom teacher." Grrrrr. Dude, you're the one that called the meeting...
