Thanks po! I tried the books kaya lang di niya talaga ko pinapansin, yung board book niya na isa yung may pinipindot tapos may sound yun pinapansin niya. Siguro need ko din patience kasi kapag nakita ko sya magrespond sa dvds dati natuwa ako nababad naman sya.

Pero ngayon yun nga less time for TV. Yung sa speech therapy so kakausapin ko lang sya? Kahit di sya magrespond okay lang yun? Napapaisip nga ko niloloko kasi nila ako na slow baby ko. Basta makita niya ko how magsalita. Like kunwari gusto ko ituro "mommy" or "milk" how do I do it?

[imeego]

based on my own experience......ok lang na wala silang response initially which is understandable  kasi bago sa kanila yung tinuturo mo just make sure lang na you talk to him na magkaharap kayo, eye level and yung focus niya nasayo and off ang tv tapos keep on repeating the word lang, pati pagbuka ng bibig mo ipakita mo, ginagawa ko talaga medyo exaggerated movement ng lips ko eh para he can mimic tapos everyday ulit-ulitin lang...nagugulat na lang ako pag nasasabi na ng baby ko yung word after few days...effective sa baby ko yung brainy baby board books eh, ang ginagawa ko point ko yung picture ng objects while i name them ...one more thing pag may word sya nasabi kahit hindi pa clear (kahit sounds like lang) pinapakita ko na naappreciate ko  yung effort niya by clapping, saying yehey with smile (hehe exaggerated din reaction ko) ewan pero parang nakaka-motivate/encourage siguro sa baby ko yun

2 years and 4 mos na.. diagnosed siya with GDD rule out CP.. 6mos p lang cia start na kami mag PT and thank God malaki na improvement though dpa sya walk independently nagwwalk cia sa mga gilid ng bed/table.. yup patience lang talaga.. nag start naman kami ng OT when he is 1 1/2 years old til now.. kaso parang bagal ng improvement.. im thinking of looking for a new OT kaso wala na malapit sa place namin.. then last month  lang kami galing sa devt pedia.. then he wants to add Speech therapy na..

[riddermark]

may recommendation po ba ni occupational therapist that he's ready for SP?  sabi kasi sakin ni OT sya ang magsasabi kung pwede na ba tapos ifoforward ke doctor, then doctor will include it sa summary of assessment niya which will be shown naman sa knyang speech pathologist.

can baby sit and focus a little?  baka nga ready na sya. kami kasi natagalan almost a year munang OT kasi hindi mapirmi at makulit si kuya ko.

[NanaylovesAJ]

actually wala pa.. sbi naman sa amin nung PT niya puwede pa assess lang muna namin kung gusto namin pero better na mareach namin yung goal n walk independently kc nkkatulong din daw yun mga development ng muscle sa tummy para sa speech therapy niya.. pero punta pa din ako kc kkhiya naman sa devt namin kung d namin susundin recommendation niya db :-)  yung next OT namin is on Sat.. maybe dun ko cia kausapin

i posted on another thread here regarding my daughter, she's been in OT for almost a month and next month start na siya ng Speech Theraphy with go signal from her teacher, my baby is 19 months old and i can say she has improved na din since nagstart siya mag OT, sabi ng teacher niya she can sit na all through out the session, will only stand if teacher ask her to and naiiwan pa nga ni teacher while si baby tuloy sa activity niya, marunong na din siya mag pack away if teacher ask her to si baby nagbibit bit ng toys dadalhin nila ni teacher sa cabinet, she doesn't cry anymore during her session, if dati ang name response niya is 2 out of 10, now 9 out of 10 na and baby will answer back pa pag tinatawag siya
mas nauutusan na din siya ngayon she follows command such us: hold your spoon, get your bubbles, get your water, turn on the tv, lets go, get your water, pick a flower, get your shoes nakakatuwa pa nga pag bigay niya ng isang shoe sa akin automatic nakataas na din paa niya
she can point and identify the alphabet and atleast 85% she can pronounce correctly, she can point to shapes like circle, star (can pronounce), triangle, square, oval, heart, crescent, rectangle, diamond, colors alam din niya like blue (can pronounce as well), red, yellow, purple, green, orange, black and pink, recently i teach her the numbers so far 1-6 alam na niya and 3,4,5 she can pronounce but not that clear like three (tri), four (fo), five (fai)
she loves to play her xylophone and can shoot shapes into her peg board w/o assistance na
she can say hindi, upo with matching tapik sa chair if she wants me to sit, our helper name niya is beth tawag ni baby ay ba, she can point to objects like if i ask her where's the lizard she'll look at the window and if may nakita siya lalapitan niya yun at ituturo niya, though she still can't point to far objects puro gesture lang tapos tingin siya akin, but one time i ask her where's the light she point at it naman but sobrang bilis
buti na lang magaling yung OT ni baby siya yung pinaka senior dun sa school niya and natutuwa siya kay baby kasi 1 month pa lang OT niya bilis na magimprove, she said she will also endorsed baby na din for SPED
im hoping pag nagstart ng mag ST si baby mas madami pa sana siya masabi parang its there na kasi kelangan lang talaga ng proper way of teaching her kaya kahit mahal ang therapy niya go pa din kasi i can see huge improvement

@ NanaylovesAJ

maybe you can ask the school administrator if they have senior OT but make it a point na its nothing personal naman with your child's current OT stressed out mo na lang na you want sana yung more experienced sa pagtuturo to help your child na mag improve, OT kasi ni baby very accommodating then she make sure talaga na one hr ang session, 2-3pm kasi schedule ni baby minsan late kami ng 5-10 mins but inaadjust niya yung time but sa ibang OT pansin ko regardless of what time dumating till 3pm pa din ang out, even kasi may meeting siya minomove na lang niya yun para nga continuous ang therapy ni baby, and every after each session kinakausap me ni teacher summarize niya what happened, the activities they did and observation niya kay baby during the session bukod pa dun yung weekly report na binibigay niya sa sa akin, dun pa lang alam ko na very trusted ang teacher niya

im also planning to take my daughter to a different dev ped after 3 months, ask ko lang if i need to inform the new dev ped na napatingnan ko na si baby to another dev ped before, if not how can i explain kung bakit inenroll ko na si baby sa OT, or should i just be honest? thanks poh!

[riddermark]

i think si BABY ang magaling. it mainly depends on the kid though of course factor din si teacher. kami naman ay sooobrang tagal. maybe because walang follow-up sa bahay? yan ang kulang namin. madami kaming therapies but di ko matutukan because im working.

ours is the head of the department din. will see dito sa bunso ko kung gano kabilis ang development if it's in the kid talaga or sa teacher.

hanga naman ako kay baby very fast learner! pano nga ulit sis bakit sya pinacheck mo sa dev pedia?

my regular pedia advised me before when i told her i'd be looking for another dev pedia kasi the first one she referred e medyo matagal magbigay ng assessment result. she told me not to say to the 2nd pedia that we've been to 1 para daw from scratch talaga ang assessment niya. but that time di pa kami nakapag umpisa mag OT so, walang kaso. with yours, it's up to you to say kung nag intervention na.

@ riddermark

maybe i'll just be honest with her new dev ped dalhin ko na din yung summary of report from dra falcotelo and progress report from the school in that way he can see naman if may improvement

i had my baby evaluated because of her speech konti pa lang kasi alam niya before, then pointing niya only to near objects lang pag malalayo she will just make a gesture then look at the object and back at me, hand flapping din siya when she's excited or frustrated but i did some research some says its normal, like sa adults pag naiinip tayo we would tap our foot parang similar daw yun dun but im not sure din

kanina lang din sabi ng OT niya hindi masyado nagagamit ni baby ang left arm niya nasanay kasi si baby palagi may bitbit sa isang kamay niya kaya ayun hindi niya masyado nagagamit for grasping so now if may hawak si baby that she's holding for too long aalisin ko na

bilis nga turuan ni baby kahit sa books dami na din niya na identify like moon, flower, baby, ball, cup, girl, boy, banana, apple and the likes pati mga character sa books she can point na din like when i ask where's winnie the pooh? alam din niya, every morning we review her flashcards and sa afternoon din if wala siya therapy, i started with 3 flashcards at a time for each category (alphabet, shapes, colors, numbers), saka lang me nagaadd if alam na niya yung first 3 na naintroduce ko para hindi naman mahirapan at mabigla si baby, try to experiment din kasi i just discovered that with my daughter mas effective sa kanya ang flashcards than books, she'll listen and point at books but not as consistent with flashcards, minsan nga i tried alphabet ref magnet baka naman kasi sa flashcard niya lang alam but to my surprise alam din niya yun so it means she really knows it and hindi lang sight reading, she knows how to answer questions what and where, one time dinala ko siya sa play house sa mall i saw a star shaped toy so i asked baby what shape is this, she said star, and then i ask what color is the star she said blue,

im a SAHM kaya may time kay baby but im planning to go back to work mahal kasi ng therapy ni baby but at the same time naawa naman ako if iiwan ko siya ako lang din naman nageefort magturo sa kanya and she listen wells to me compared to my mom

sis riddermark maybe you can instruct naman your yaya na ipractice yung mga lesson nila sa therapy, kasi diba sabi ni dra falcotelo as much as possible gawin din daw sa bahay yun, kahit give them a specific time to practice like one hour each morning or afternoon, they;ll still have enough time to do the housework

Hello mga sis... reading this thread really helped me a lot...i am so glad as well reading the improvements of your babies.. my son started therapy when he was 2 years old..sobrang laki din ng improvement.. marunong na syang magmano, mag kiss, at nagagalit na sya if doesnt want something or want something..alam na niya kung saan gamit ang mga bagay.. he still flap his hands, nagtitiptoe pa din, pero im positive na ma oovercome din yan ng son ko..he is 2 1/2 years now and his OT told us last week that he can start speech therapy by next week. He has still a long way to go, but I know kaya niya...

[swtgrl_bee]

^sis how much ang speech therapy? gusto ko lang maging ready just incase sabihin ni Dra. Tippy kailangan namin, pero sana wag na

Baby ko nag Toddler School, super bilis ng improvement ng Speech niya first two words niya DADDY "NAME" ng daddy niya tonight lang yun. Tapos lahat ng words kaya na niya ulitin basta tyaga lang.

Kaya natin ito Mommies

[mommyl_lorna_gee]

hi po mga mommies... may narinig lang minsan ako sa sister in law ko may doktor na nagsasabi na ang speech delay plus loss of focus/concentration ay mgagamot sa isang medicine with injection sa isang particular nerve cell ng katawan ng bata (d ko mclear kung saang part ng body)... kung totoo eto bakit ala akong naririnig na ganito sa mga doctors and therapists?
 
what po masasabi nyo? GOD BLESS us!

[mOmielle]

My sister in law's son is 21/2 no words yet even syllables. She doesn't worry about it too much as much as we are. Everyone's telling them to have their baby checked. Pinacheck na daw nila sa pedia sa probinsya sabi matagal lang daw talaga mag salita. We were pissed off when we learned about it. They don't even act concerned at anong klaseng doctor magkakaroon ng ganyang judgement. Obviously there is something wrong di marunong makinig yung kapatid ng asawa ko. Tinigilan na lang namin baka sabihin pa pakelamera kami. She believes that her son is a genius daw dahil si einstein eh matagal daw bago nagsalita.  My husband and I knows na it'll be too late before she learns na kailangan ng tulong ng anak niya. Hay. Poor kid.

i have 17 month old baby boy he is my 2nd baby im kinda worry sa speech niya ..btw  my 1st baby  na ako a girl she is already 4 year old okey naman na sya medyo delay lang din nung mga 3 years old na sya tlaga nakakapagspeak in sentence .medyo naparanoid pa nga ako nung mga 2 yer old sya kasi nakukuntian ako sa words niya and parang amsyado hyper kaya pina check ko devped sabi pedia mukhang wala naman prob pero theres no harm in theraphy kaya pinatheraphy ko then after 6 months okey na sobrang daldal na..


now ngayon with my 2nd baby boy na 17month old medyo worry na naman,,,,kasi nakukuntian ako sa mga words niya...kung dati yun ate niya parang nadedelay sya feeling ko ata mas delay yun baby boy ko..nasasabi pa nga lang..mommy,(complete and clelar), daddy(complete and clear), baba(pag like niya baba), dede (pag like niya magdede)...KEY, pen pero minsan lang sobra...kunti no at his age or okey na din?

sa socialization naman talagang makiita mo na nakikipaginteract sya titig talag sya sayo pag tinawag mo..pag nakikita niya ko lagi sya cry para makpagpakarga sakin...

sa imitation naman..nakakaimitate sya like when i tooth brush gagaya sya na parang nagtotothrbusg, and pag nagblow the bubbles kami gagaya din sya

sumusunod naman sya sa command like when i say flying kiss with sound..with sound talaga. give to me this and this give naman niya..
