We met with the speech pathologist at the preschool last week for Phoenix. We have tried to get him speech before, but the other school districts didn't offer such a kid friendly environment, nor did they listen to what we had to say. All that doesn't matter now because we are working with an awesome speech pathologist through the preschool. They were very encouraging and told us that he is a VERY SHARP little boy. It was so nice to hear that there are only 3 letter sounds that he needs to work on. He can say them, he just may omit them or have trouble saying them at various points in a word. And the fact that L and R are not easy for him doesn't matter because kids at his age are not even expected to be able to say them correctly. All the shyness and lack of confidence will all change with progress in his speech. He is aware of the struggle he has so at times he just chooses not to talk or do anything at all. We are so HAPPY for the changes and progress that has been made even since last week!
