Speech issues

Just reaching out to see if anyone has or is experiencing anything similar.. My son had his parents evening for preschool and they’ve said they’re concerned about his speech. Not his vocabulary but how he actually talks, apparently he really struggles to communicate with his peers and the workers struggle to understand him as he’s quite nasally. I’ve never had an issue communicating with him but as parents I think we just know what they’re saying! We’ve seen a gp today who has booked him a hearing test. The whole situation has completely thrown me if I’m honest because he’s such a little chatterbox..

I have the same. My LO speaks alot and I understand alot but others don't. She doesn't form her words correctly. I've joined the Croydon group called Chatterbox and they are giving small weekly tips on how we can help her. No major cause for concern. It's just helping her form her words better. I though it was because she is bilingual but apparently that's not the issue. So now we go weekly to the playgroup. She has tons of fun and I learn how better to help her. Don't be worried. It's all just educating yourself to help them. They'll get there. X

Same here, my boy talks alot too(blabs, says words) but his words are not always clear sometimes he will say some words clearly other times he won't but I still understand what he is referring too. He will say mummy, daddy clearly. He only goes pre school for 6hrs twice a week i did think it has helped a lot. He was put down for 15hrs which the school accepted now they reduced his hours as he requires alot of 121 or small group sessions which I think is unfair as I really think pre school has helped him and they have also expressed they have concerns about his speech. Anyways am just patiently waiting for the day my boy can speak clearly and in full sentence to me just longing to have a conversation with him about his day.

Thank you both for sharing your experiences. My son is in preschool 3 morning sessions a week but I think I will start taking him to another group myself so I can see and hear how he’s interacting and try and help him. I will definitely try and find some local support groups too! I feel bad because I was totally oblivious to it, I must just understand him so well it really took me by surprise that they’re all struggling to understand him.. it’s all escalated very quickly! 😔 x
