Debra gave you an excellent answer. Becaus...Marie,<br /><br />Debra gave you an excellent answer. Because of your son's age, many of those errors are within normal limits and he would probably be considered to have a mild or mild-to-moderate articulation delay, although errors with K and G can make a child very difficult to understand. I would work on K and G first (at the same time--they are similar sounds). I think you would find Super Star Speech helpful for both of your children.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952931228489764783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53873677645881723.post-78896946883069084652010-04-25T20:36:50.784-06:002010-04-25T20:36:50.784-06:00Marie -- I would think that Super Star Speech woul...Marie -- I would think that Super Star Speech would be fantastic for you. I don't have speech issues with my dyslexic kiddos, but I would think doing something to work on those earlier rather than later could only help.<br /><br />For your 4.5 year old, the only sounds you listed that he "should" have mastered at this point are /k/ and /g/. <br /><br />The basic idea is to do the assessment, and then pick one sound (of those he "should" know) to work on. I would think either /k/ or /g/ would be fine... I'd pick based on things like his name, or the name of his friends, or something. <br /><br />I guess my theory on this is: for $13, you are at least going to get a grasp on which sounds do need work, and you have a chance to try helping him. If it doesn't work and he does need professional speech therapy, you'll have a grasp on why they are doing what they are doing. And you'll be able to work with him at home to supplement the regular therapy.<br /><br />For another $13, you could purchase the book that includes the /th/ sounds and work with big brother.<br /><br />I would go for it.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416139988162419457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53873677645881723.post-68226615462915312792010-04-25T19:46:41.718-06:002010-04-25T19:46:41.718-06:00Hi Debra,
I enjoyed reading your review. I do have...Hi Debra,<br />I enjoyed reading your review. I do have a question about my ds. He's 4.5 and still struggles with /l/ /k/ /r/ and /g/. I'm sure there may be others along with some diagraphs as well. That's alot isn't it? I wonder if SSS would be helpful for us, since he has so many sound issues, or if she recommends speech therepy for children with lots of trouble? He's still young so I know he could improve on his own and I was thinking maybe I could help him along. I believe he's dyslexic just like his older brother and his older brother didn't master /l/ until he was 7! He still has trouble with /th/ and so does his father. <br />So basically my question is, does she address the issue of severity? Does SSS have a target group that it was written for, or is it supposed to help anyone? <br />Thanks for the great reveiw...off to read about the games =)Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16637528166818931113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53873677645881723.post-61909758406718995672010-04-22T15:28:25.353-06:002010-04-22T15:28:25.353-06:00Thanks for your review!
