Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Any late talkers?

DS was a very late talker. He had ST from a little over 2 yo to 3 yo when he aged out of the first steps program. At 3 he still wasn't talking in sentences but, he was reading. This helped because I could get him to talk if he read stuff. On day around 3.5 yo he walked up to me and said "Hi Mommy, how are you doing today?" My jaw about hit the ground. He at 4.5 is now to the point where he has complete conversations. He still has speech issues with pronouncing s sounds, l sounds, sh and th sounds but, is doing so much better. I felt pretty bad for him because I know he was asking us stuff when he was younger but, even we had no clue what he was saying. Now if I can't figure it out I have him spell it, ha ha.
