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.
it really is
she said she didnt think it was a problem. Xandria is persnickety always has been
her dr told me if she ddint walk by 18 months there was likely a problem. Got up at 18 months 3 days and walked 4 feet like shes been doing it forever
I called her a booger when I saw it lol
at least I think I did lol
A lot of that type of developmental milestone stuff is bullshit. Once again go look at where it comes from.
And then be surprised they tell people such serious things with such little real data and evidence behind their proclamations.
A friend of mine is all bitter and twisted because he was failing IQ tests etc as a kiddie. He is perfectly fine. Very highly developed visual reasoning and eyeball engineering. Very waek at symbolic and verbal skills. Just doesn't get poetry. But now he has this chip on his shoulder about being crap at IQ tests when he was little.
A lot of the standards used are still from the 1940s. Which is baffling to me, be pediatric, natal, pregnancy research is stifled for the obvious reason of people don't want to risk their kids.
You can't "fail" an IQ test.
