Yesterday, R had an awesome session of speech therapy, and we've been seeing a whole lot more improvements of him attempting to speak and experiment with sounds. Last night, I caught him singing ABC to himself. He never did that before. And I'm really excited! He could be conversing with us soon and I can't wait!
Then it got me thinking. A lot of people have often asked me how SPD affected R's language development, and how it has caused him such a delay. So I thought I'd do a bit of research and share what I've learned.
In my previous post I talked about how essential pretend play is to language development. I had also discussed even earlier on the link between SPD with oral motor problems, orofacial apraxia, and even Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS).
Today we will discuss about the usual language development of children and how SPD can affect this.
So let's jump right in!
