You may need a new speech therapist.

Kids with these other issues spend years in speech b/c the way the brain is wired. I don't think OP really has a grasp on what progress would look like. If she's concerned she should review the goals with the ST.

Debbie McCabe is not a doctor. She is a "holistic practitioner." That said, I have heard several people sing her praises.

By the way, I hate when people bash doctors they know nothing about. Debbie McCabe knows her science inside out. This is not voodoo. It science.

Debbie McCabe is incredible and has been a LIFE Saver for us. (and she's not cheaper than a dev ped by the way). We went to a dev ped who said "see if problems continue and if they do put her on a stimulant."

We went to debbie and she did thorough thorough thorough lab work, found a bunch of stuff and treated it. SHE IS AMAZING. I can't say enough.

I would save your money to see a developmental pediatrician.

If you want to supplement with OTC things like fish oil, or other omega 3 sources, you don't need Debbie McCabe.
