Hi Everyone

[kamikam]

I am new here.
My son is two years old. We have had an ongoing battle with ear infections and doctors refusing to put tubes in his ears. Finaly  he had his ear tube surgery about a month ago. They did a hearing test on him before he had it done and it showed he heard muffled sounds due to the fluid in his ears. All this has caused him to have a speech delay.
He only says
dadda momma moo (milk)  acktor (tracktor)
star  car  cookie and choo choo.

His doctor wants him to have speech thearpy but he has to go threw the county program(help me grow) and he has to be evaluated and so forth so it will be a while. Im hoping that this will help him with his vocab.

p.s. This program should help him a lot! You will find categories that he really likes, and he will probably try to say the words immediately. You can also try YBCR.
Just make sure to talk to him a lot and explain everything that you see and hear. If you're doing chores around the house, tell him what you're doing and what tools you are using. If you're buying fruit at the store, explain the different fruits and colors to him. The more words he hears, the more he will pick up. I bet he will catch on very fast now that he can hear!

Welcome!

I'm sure your son will be happy to be able to hear more clearly.  He'll probably learn quickly now that he can hear well.  I think Little Reader will help him a lot.  He can learn more words and he can end up learning to read, too.  Wouldn't that be great?  I like Nikki's idea of talking to him a lot.   I'm sure he will love hearing your voice the most.

Wow kamikam!  That's great!

It's only been a week or so hasn't it?  That is very encouraging.  Thanks for sharing!

That's great! In a few months he'll be talking your ears off!
