[quote=Anonymous]OP, we have a child who has been in speech for years. Age 4 is one of the more difficult years as it gets noticeable how different your child's speech is. For us, it got easier starting at 5, but really 6 and 7. We went through several speech therapists early on. It just wasn't a good fit. A good fit is really important and if you have the option, do try a few therapists and find a better fit. Yes, kids have a tuff time in speech therapy and can act out a bit, but if an SLP makes it fun, usually its not as big an issue. Kids are there because they have needs and it doesn't sound like this SLP is handling it well. The same thing with school. The right fit is important and not everyone understands language delays and automatically assumes the worst, like the child is misbehaving, difficult, etc. when its really they are not processing or understanding.[/quote]
