I am also the mom of three fabulous boys. They are 2,5,and 8. Since the third I have not been as fun of a mom! Oh well, I digress. I am writing you because I am a speech therapist. I want to tell you how wonderful you are! If you have questions, I am happy to be the safe person to ask in the cyber world. I love your site. I love that you are not some conservative Christian writing about how wonderful your life is and how your husband is the head of your household and that you submit is why your life is great! Ha! Good luck to you. Hi Sister! I am also the mom of three fabulous boys. They are 2,5,and 8. Since the third I have not been as fun of a mom! Oh well, I digress.

I have three sons, ages 33 months, and twin 22 month olds. Yes, three under three. The oldest, Maverick and one of the twins, Miles have both been tested and scored very low in verbal skills. Maverick qualified for a special education placement in the public school's preschool. He can attend in March, when he turns 3. Currently he has less than 10 words, and communicates with pointing and grunting. Miles has no words an just last month started making the sounds b and m, before that the only verbal sounds he made were "a" sounds. I'm so happy Maverick qualified for special education, sad that he has to ride the short bus, but he will continue to get services and be evaluated after the 3 year cut off date. They say boys are slower in this area. Also mulitiples have more issues with speech delay and being exactly 11 months apart, they're as close to triplets as you can get without actually being triplets. Everyone says they'll catch on eventually, but in the meantime it's frustrating and sometimes sad when you see a child their age or younger talking in sentences or complex words and here's your child saying nothing. My boys are all smart, no doubt about it, they just have this minor setback. I like your humor and postivie attitude about this though! I have two sons with speech delays.

Then a friend who had been thru the whole speech therapy evaluation process told me that her social services lady had told them that usually by age 3, these kids "catch up." The reason they worry so much before then is because after 3 years old, they no longer qualify for the services... rock and a hard spot. Good luck.

Your description on your son reminds of an article written by a columnist I admire about his own son who spoke very few words until over 4 years old despite showing normal or advanced intelligence in other areas. He did research and corresponded with other parents whose children had talked very late and later turned out to have normal or gifted intelligence. It was interesting that most of these children were boys and most turned out to be very talented in analytical fields such as mathematics. So you may have a very gifted little boy. Who's definitely adorable. The columnist I mentioned wrote a book if you're interested: http://www.amazon.com/Late-Talking-Children-Thomas-Sowell/dp/0465038352 I’m an occasional reader who’s never commented before.
