delayed talker?..

[yapeegurl]

sis blootrol, just to give you an idea, when I called a dev ped last month, May 28 ata, the next available slot was in January.. I got January 12...

but some of them call you should someone cancel their appointment.. i hope the NO TV policy and reading books help your child's speech development..

[swtgrl_bee]

Update my baby turned 15 months last 25th, Dadadada palang nasasabi niya pero sa mga nababasa ko naman talagang dun lang sa pagproduce ng words siya delayed the rest okay naman. Pero magpapasched nadin ako sa Dev Ped para malaman nadin namin kung ano yung mga dapat gawin.

[sachism]

same samin, i also have no TV policy.. reading e-books lang like storychime , etc

[chicafabulosa]

Mine also according to the pedia who look at my son due to constipation delayed daw anak ko. He's 18 months pa lang. Well di naman ako bothered kasi naiintindihan naman nya lahat ng sinasabi namin except he can only say few words. but he can convey his message clear through pointing, gestures and the likes.

joining the thread..so happy at may ganitong thread..my son is also a delayed  talker...19months na siya but wala pa din siya masyado nasasabi na words except sa mga repetitive syllables...but he can understand din yung mga commands namin and can follow instructions...and he can also relay his message through gestures..very active din baby ko as in super active...di pa ko nagconsult sa dev't pedia and reading this thread really lessens my anxiety..back read din muna ko to get some more tips...

@socxymom, ako we've decided to just wait for my son to take his time to start talking. ang important is he understands everything we said. I dont think na may autism sya. let's just continue talking to our kids and im sure they will learn our words little by little.

[socxymom]

^oo nga sis..ako din observe ko din muna si li'l boy..basta happy naman si baby and very healthy...siguro sa part ko kasi,2nd baby na kasi namin siya and i know na mali na i-compare siya sa kuya niya..kasi yung eldest namin maaga nakapag salita kaya nung medyo na-notice ko na parang until now eh di pa rin siya nakakapag salita na-bother na ko..and according din sa mga nabasa ko dito sa thread,iba iba talaga ang development pace in every individual..

[betsyness]

My son is 19mos pero limited pa din yung words nya. I'm not panicking though we were advised na wag mag tv ang hirap kasi fave nya ang disney junior. Pero we talk straight to him and read him books. He'll attend toddler school next month and i'm hoping that he'll learn to talk na talaga by then.

sa mga sis don't worry too much basta hindi pa lumalampas ng 3years old yung anak nyo ok lang yun.  Yung baby ko 3years old na nagsimulang magsabi ng mommy and ngayon ang daldal na.  Yung no TV policy may good and bad din honestly.  Yung baby ko kasi puro TV ang good side english speaking kasi puro english pinapanood ang bad side minsan ginagaya nya mga nakikita niya.  Yung sa friend ko yung eldest nya no TV policy ayun kung magsalita YAYA accent and pure tagalog, yung 2nd niya mahilig sa TV and same with my son English speaking. Kausapin nyo lang ng kausapin anak nyo huwag iasa sa mga yaya dahil mas gusto nilang makipag text honestly kesa makipag-usap sa mga anak natin.
Enrolling your son too soon might help kasi marami siyang kausap pero sa anak ko parang natakot yata siya and ayun hindi nagsasalita sa classroom sabi ng teacher  the downside of enrolling your son too soon is magsisimula ng magkasakit yung anak mo kasi siyempre exposed na siya sa ibang kids kapag may ubo ang isa magkakahawaan na.
Ang ginawa ko kumuha na lang ako ng speech therapist dito sa house pero sandali lang yun wala pa yatang 20sessions, may mga tongue exercises na pinagawa and ayun it really helped 1 session pa lang bigla na siyang nagsalita as in parang box na nabuksan yung mouth niya. 
Huwag agad developmental pedia kasi kapag sobrang bata minsan na mimisdiagnose according to my pedia.
 Hope this helps.....

I agree wth you sis snowyice. ako nga medyo nainis ako dun sa dr na dinalhan ko sa son ko. isang beses ko lang dinala and consultation lang for his constipation biglang diagnosis agad nya possible autism. nabwisit ako di ko na binalik anak ko dun

[angeljulienne]

sis dont worry sa baby mo coz my son whe he was that old worried din ako kasi mama lang din nasasabi non specific pa basta lang siya nagsasabi ng ganun. at 17mos old lucky enaf nakapagpa schedule ako sa dep ped cos di ako magkakaron ng peace of mind till to know about my son's devt. since baby pa siya di pa makapag bigay ng concrete evaluation ang dep ped di naman daw niya nakikita ang signs of autism sa anak ko so pina ot kami but i stopped after a month kasi feeling ko di pa siya nagbebenefit sa ot kasi baby pa. as he grows unti unti lang din nadagdagan vocabulary niya at age 22mos now masasabi ko na my son is growing ok mentally kahit na limited speech but he is able to say words kahit na minsan ang lalayo sa exact words... delayed speech is sometimes normal lang sa bata di mo mapipilit magsalita pag di pa sila ready kaya be patient your baby will be talking soon at his own pace.... minsan kasi tao sa paligid nagbibigay ng pressure sa atin at sa baby para magsalita... follow your instinct as a mother...

correct ka sis, ako hindi ako nagpapapressure. Kasi I knew boys are really delayed talker and I observe
naman sa ibang aspect advance ang lil toddler ko . Kaya no worries. I let my son grow on his own
way!

@chicafabulosa sis pakainin mo ng fruits yung anak mo para hindi maconstipate...nagulat nga ako when I read na constipation can be due to autism.
basta hinay hinay lang may mga dr talaga na parang timang sarap sapukin may commission kaya sila sa mga developmental pedia kaya mahilig silang magrefer?

Talaga? di ko alam na may commission sila dun.. tsk tsk.

Yah he eats a  lot of fruits and veggies. Well right now he was given Lilac and okay naman yung effect sa kanya. Okay pa dito is walang overdose sya, can be taken for long time. But of course ayoko naman magdepend baby ko dito rin.

eto pa ha, syempre di ba ang bata clingy pag di nya kilala yung tao na kausap natin right, pati yung pagiging clingy is sign daw ng autism and isa pa nung inask ako, is if organized daw kid ko sa things nya. I said he knows how to fix his toys after he play with them. And isa rin daw sign yun kasi dapat daw at this age makalat pa yan. eh syempre ganun kid ko eh nakikita nya na after he play with his toys, nililigpit namin so na-train sya ng maaga na he needs to put back things where he got them.

[socxymom]

^nakakatawa na nakakainis naman yung pedia mo sis...im not being judgmental sa pedia mo pero parang nag da-diagnose agad siya without fully assessing your baby...baby ko din knows how to fix his toys kasi tinuro na namin sa kanya yun and nakikita niya din samin especially sa kuya niya na parang role model niya kasi 'idol' niya kuya niya..lahat ng gagawin ng kuya niya gusto niya kasama at kassali siya...so autistic din pala anak ko!grabe naman yun ah...siyempre at their very young age,role modeling is really a great factor sa kanilang attitude..kung ano yung nakikita nila at napa-practice sa bahay yun yung ma-absorb din nila na behavior...

[chicafabulosa]

@socymom actually di ko sya pedia ko. kaya sa kanya ko sya dinala lang kasi malayo pedia ng baby ko talaga, nasa Las Pinas. I called his Pedia sa Las Pinas after this pedia's observation super nagalit pedia ko. Kasi yung anak ko nga daw is advanced compared to other kids kaya inaantay lang nila na ready na kid ko to take IQ test to check his IQ level. Then yung Pedia na kinonsult ko for his constipation sabi naman autistic anak ko. Kaya naku never na ako babalik dun. kahit malayo ang las pinas sa akin, tyatyagain ko na lang Pedia talaga ng anak ko. Kesa naman masabihan na autistic anak ko.

[socxymom]

^ah ganun ba..oo nga sis,wag mo na balik dun yung baby mo..kakainis yung mga ganung doktor eh..iba na nga mga baby ngayon eh,very advance na talaga..ang bilis nila magdevelop..

btw,im applying some of the tips of our sis here..lessen ko na muna yung tv exposure ng baby ko..and ayoko na din muna pa-pressure about sa di pa masyado makapag salita si baby..hayaan ko muna siya to explore and expose ko din muna siya sa ibang mga kids..pansin ko lang kasi sa baby ko ayaw niya sa mga bata na almost same of his age,which is toddler..gusto niya makipaglaro sa older kids,maybe because dito sa house ang kalaro niya is yung kuya niya which is already 8 years old...kaya i'll try din to expose him more sa mga kids of his age...

[yapeegurl]

chicafabulosa, other than your son being organized, what are your pedia's basis for concluding that there is a possible autism sa son mo? My son who's now turning 3yrs old was super OC sa toys nya because we taught him to play his toys properly and keep them after playing.. he was like this since he began walking..

it'll be a help if you enroll your kids to a playgroup as it will encourage them to communicate.. lalo pa for kids who are nangingilala.. we had this problem kaya at 18months he joined a playclub.. it really helps..

when you're inside the elevator or when your'e walking up/down the stairs, you can count out loud too.. nursery songs also help..

[socxymom]

^ay sis yung baby ko may fear sa elevator..everytime na sumasakay kami dun naiyak,kaya minsan ginagawa namin is sa escalator kami then yung stroller sa elevator..hehe..i'll try your advice,we'll count out loud or sing any nursery song..

Wala as in yun lang and pagiging clingy daw. malamang kasi di naman sya kilala and first time pa lang sya nakita. natural reaction sa bata yun lalo na hahawakan sila di ba. And dapat daw nagkukwento na anak ko daw at least 50 words and above na yung alam na words daw. Madaldal anak ko sa haus yun nga lang bilang mo yung words na sinasabi nya. He make his message cross by showing, pointing and making gestures. Kaya nagulat yung talagang Pedia ng anak ko na first time pa lang nakita nung Pedia na yun anak ako eh nasabi na agad na autistic anak ko.

Sabi nung Pedia na nagsabi na baka autistic baby ko, Nagbago na daw standard ng autism. May mga autistic na bata daw na may eye contact na.
