[quote=Anonymous]Pragmatic language issues since 2 yrs old that with speech therapy at 3.5 yrs old improved to a manageable and appropriate level within a year. As more speech-related expectations were placed on DS, he couldn't keep pace. He had to go back to speech therapy when he started K for pragmatic language issues, stuttering, and other speech issues. He stayed in speech (and other therapies) until 4th grade. He still have some minor issues with speech dealing with gathering his thoughts and then speaking. Sometimes, he will still start-stop-start-stop-start and then rephrase what he wants to say. This depends on the topic and he's nervous or anxious about the topic or who he is speaking with. Most of the time he sounds like a well-educated, talkative 13 yr old introverted kid. I have another son who spoke on time, but later developed an issue with stuttering that was really hard to beat the older he got.[/quote]
