Most of my kids are K - 2. This one is a kindergartner. Half of kids that are two and a half years old and speech-delayed catch up by three. The other half are another six months behind. I would expect fewer to catch up each year, but there is still a chance. When I was learning Spanish, I knew that I pronounced everything wrong, but I could not figure it out myself, someone needed to tell me.
Then again, I hear stories of kids that potty-train themselves.
One of the words we do is "Pack." It shows a backpack. I should probably replace it with a picture of someone packing a suitcase. The kids always say "Packpack."
"No. Wait. Just `pack.'"
"Packpack!"
When I break down the words and phrases, most of them say the individual components correctly, but when we put them back together, they say it exactly the same way they did originally.
I make such a difference in their lives...
It is exciting when they have some speech error that makes everyday vocabulary sound inappropriate and they say it loudly.
