My daughter turns 4 in 4 months. He speaks less compared to his peers. We diagnosed her with autism, but overall disorders were ruled out. I took care of her in speech therapy and teaching, we attend classes with W. Sherborne. We can see that the speech is moving forward, it's already fun with its understanding of commands. He goes to the mainstream kindergarten. I don't know how I can help her yet. He knows a lot of words, says simple words. And he talks a lot in his own way, incomprehensible. I am very worried about her emotional development because she is getting older and more nervous when we don't understand something. At the same time, he suffers from hypothyroidism.
What will certainly benefit the daughter, apart from the exercises already performed recommended in speech therapy, are all verbal games and conversations. In order for the disorders diagnosed by the daughter not to affect her emotional development, she needs to spend as much time as possible with people who will support her.
All riddles, guesses, puzzles, shared fairy tales, repeating words are games that stimulate the development of speech and facilitate independent speaking. There are many ready-made aids on the market today that you can use. In addition, it is very valuable, for example, to do household activities together (baking cookies, cleaning, etc.), during which we can talk about them and encourage our daughter to do it together with the Lady. Speech develops quite slowly and you need a lot of patience before your daughter learns to speak correctly, but the results of such cooperation will surely be.
