[quote=Anonymous]Sit in on the therapy sesssions. Watch what the SLP does to cue speech. This was a huge help for us.  I repeated what she did in between sessions. We also made up silly songs when we were working on a word. I remember with the word up we built towers while singing “up up up...” then we’d say down while we knocked it down. He thought that was hysterical and he tried to sing along. We had many of these one or two word songs where we just repeated the word. We also read stories that emphasized simple words. I would read and then pause to see if he could fill in the word. These were the words we worked on in speech not random ones. In the early years it definitely felt like every single word had to be learned on its own. I never ever drilled him. Instead we did it all through play and cues. If our SLPs hadnt let me watch, he wouldn’t have made as much progress. Early on we did speech almost every day. He has private, county and attended LEAP at UMD.

Unlike the above PP, our son didn’t require 10,000 hours. I would say it was a year or so of daily, then maybe 2x a week for a few years and the last 2 years were 1x a week. He exited speech at 7. [/quote]
