[quote=Anonymous]My child's was severe.

Started speech at 20 months. Continued through 4th grade. Speech 2-4 times a week, both privately and at school.

We too hoped for 'caught up' by kindergarten. Didn't happen, but he went to a mainstream preschool and elementary school. Other kids knew he had a speech / language issue and it was just the way DC was.

As speech became clearer, therapy continued to increase length and complexity of sentences. DC is still not the most loquacious person, but contributes to class discussions and talks with friends and family comfortably. Some therapists at school later on couldn't tell / didn't really be that he'd ever had apraxia, but agreed there were language issues to work on.

DC has an accent but is 100% intelligible to strangers. Takes high school AP classes, strong reader, struggles a bit with writing, does model UN and debate.

Agree with 18:28. You just have to take it a day at a time. Putting a deadline on it will only leave you frustrated. Yes progress would sometimes be faster, and then slow down, and then speed up again.
