[quote=Anonymous] For our daughter, we were in speech for about 8 years, too, year-round but she has a disability and speech had to be developed in terms of fluency and articulation. Do not expect results overnight, and remember you are very fortunate that you have gotten you son's hearing to improve so much and that he does not have cognitive skill limitations. From your post, I would be sure that you have a speech therapist who is also tuned into working on building up his low tone oral muscles. I remember one thing recommended to us was to use a straw. Perhaps there are also oral mouth exercises that can be practiced - not sure. And then there may be positive reminder cues that you can be taught to share with your child such as to slow down or focus on the articulation.[/quote]
