[quote=Anonymous]My child is 5, and he has speech disorder. He talks a lot, and he is a smart boy. He is social & loves team work, and he has no problem making little friends at daycare. He can give out short & long answer. He loves to watch videos & play video games as well. He is a mama boy, and we talk about anything from small thing to big thing. He is a fun kid to talk to, and sometimes his conversation surprises me. Well, sometimes I think he talks too much. He has some anxieties issue as well, but his outgoing personalities mask everything, and other people cannot tell at all. Now, he is seeing speech therapist mainly to correct his pronunciation.

I have seen some kids from his classroom are quiet & do not talk much. And, they are all normal, do not need speech help, and they just happen to be not talkative, shy or not feel like responding. I think your son mostly is fine, and I would not spend money on speech therapist because I am not sure what your speech goals are. If you want him to be more talkative, talk to him or you may look into social conversation group ( for his age level). However, I would say, your son behavior seems to be normal to me.[/quote]
