Like pregnancy issues and neonatal research it's one of the most poorly research parts of health and medicine.

Nobody wants to join a study as a pregnant woman, and nobody wants to put their kids in studies either.

Taking after momma

oh no a yarn collector

fiber artist yep

soo you'll have piles of yarn

I have a trunk...

hubby has way more gun stock wood than i do yarn

❤️

this is not good, this behavior leads to everything being threadbare

lol

My father and some of my cousins required speech therapy. They are all pretty intelligent. Don't sweat it.

Also you don't want to encourage such crotchety behavior

she really smart, its just communication is frustrating for everyone, her included

I'm not even sure the speach therapy does anything

we suppliment with ASL its been a godsend

I agree

OUr therapist is freaking joke

It's like a lot of early childhood intervention makes no difference by middle school.

LOL
sorry I totally agree

the new one seems to be really good but its private. Ferguson school district is a joke

she barely spends any time with her, spends it talking to us

Maybe people just outgrow it.

there was a... I think it was a schoolsucks episode but maybe it was JRE, but the guy was talking about just that

thats what i say too <@645837018064224259> but they say they need 1 on 1

nature makes up more of a difference than we're comfortable believing

as long as you dont traumatize your kid they'll probably be pretty okay

I just saw an article the other day about how people are probably getting unecessary tongue tie surgeries

or rather people are having their babies get it because some childhood development "professional" tells them if they don't it'll cause developmental disabilities

ok ya thats stupid

we saw an IBCLC who specialixed in tongue tie and release, but she said Xandria didnt need one, it was a position issue

Unnecessary surgery on kids is child abuse.

Well that's when you get involved with pediatric specialists who are obsessed with intervention

Ive asked if it was possibly the tongue tie, but I took classes on speech in college for my english degree so I was asking the therapist pointed questions about if she was capable of making certain movements

glottal stops, voices and un voices fricatives and plossives

I'm going to have to look it up

I honestly don't know what it is LOL

There's a lot of people with various kinds of oral ties, labial and otherwise who have no problems.

The mechanics of speech is very interesting.
