My husband and I asked God to find online help with teaching our 6yo son who was diagnosed 3yrs ago of mixed expressive/receptive disorder. God answers prayers and this video is GREAT! Thank u!
He is getting better and better, thank God! He began ST in school last November and this past August he began ST and now OT in an outpatient clinic. He’s doing great!
@@meronassefa4546 Hello! Don’t worry. First thing u need is a prescription from ur son’s pediatrician to get speech therapy. Search for a good speech therapy facility and When u do please sit down with the speech therapist and ask all the questions u can to find out all about this language disorder. In the meantime research online all about the language disorder. Get the proper help and ur son will succeed. Prayers going up for u and ur son. God bless!
I really appreciate all the content you put out about parenting. Both of my boys are on the spectrum and I use so much of your information to help them. Thank you!
Can you make a video on how to help children with their behavior who also has a mixed receptive expressive language disorder??? I have a very emotional/sensitive 7 year old son with MERLD, correcting him in any type of way is not easy.. I tried so many tips from your positive parenting videos, but we both really need some guidance here and I don’t know where else to go…
Thank you sincerely for these valuable tips ❤. I am a grandmother to a wonderful 5 year old boy diagnosed with DLD. I am now better equipped to help him and it is so important to me.
One of my grandsons has had multiple therapeutic interventions since he was an infant. It's hard to know what progress he would have made without the professionals. Your videos echo much of what I have observed in the last two years. I attempt to apply techniques I have learned and your videos are a good refresher for me when I have questions. I am full time granny nanny and it is a challenging role. I feel that it is my responsibility to try harder with this kid than a neuro typical child. thanks for putting this work together.
Suellen Conklin, Your family is lucky to have you. It sounds as though you have incredible patience and love. You are what your grandsons need, all of them.
Fath Can See, therapy is tailored just for the individual, so it is tough to recommend something besides have an evaluation done and ask for things you can do with your child to help him or her.
My son will talk your ear off but has apraxia. You can’t understand a word he’s saying. He’s in his second year of speech therapy and is doing so well!
Oh Vicki I needed to have this content. I have been fraustrated with the health practitioners in my life. I have expressed concerns with my oldest since she was 4...she is now 6 1\2 and she has tested for autism...came negative...she is now on her 3rd SLP assessment because I just feel she has communication disorders and noone still seems to pick it up. All they can give me is she is not on the spectrum. I've been disappointed with the fact that I can't get a diagnosis in order the implement treatment for her.
That video was really a helpful resource. I really appreciate the way you are guiding parents to help their child learn speaking and understanding language. I've seen many videos but this is the most appropriate I gave found in all. As I can relate most of the speech issues of my child which you have explained in an amazing way. Thank you 💕
@Gwei SA thanks God you are getting help. How old are you? my 5 years old son has been diagnosed with this problem too. He started to get therapy last week. After 2 years of asking for help.
She mentions putting the milk back in the fridge in an attempt to illicit your child to ask for it. My question is what do you do when your child starts crying hysterically when you do that? I have tried this and my toddler starts whining/crying loudly despite my best efforts to prompt him to say what he wants ("Do you want milk?") while he is crying. It appears to be frustration at not knowing how to respond verbally, but I still don't know how to move him past it. Please, no hate.
friend2snimals66, your toddler may not be at the developmental level where this works. You definitely need to have a calmer child so soothe him and take care of the tears, then you can get to the talking.
Very helpful video. I feel now that I can help more my child with all these techniques. Thank you both of you. What are your opinions if a child with a expressive receptive language disorder should be place in a regular class or special class in an elementary kindergarten grade class? Thanksss.
my 2 year old was diagnosed last March. his receptive language is that of a 5-6 months and his expressive langiiage is that of a 5-10 months old. he is currently on a one-on-one class 3x a week. the teacher is having a hard time coz his attention span is really short and most of the time, he doesn't do eye contact. at home, when I call him, he doesn't respond, he doesn't look back.
My child is 5 now. And when was 2 we start the therapist and this journey. At age 3 her vocabulary start increase exponential. But when he was age 2 to 3 only knows few words. They are still learning and processing all the words taught. We might think they are not paying atention at all, but they are processing something. The attention span was also short, but in the time increased too. The eyes contact is the only thing that has not improve to much. Your son will improve with help of the therapists and what I realized is that we as the parents we should also need to learn more about this disorder to learn in an active way. Be part of the process.
@@yarieltarano280 thank you for this! Yes my son is improving. Lwts take it one day at a time. Im keeping an open-mind. I also learn a lot from the therapy.
My daughter is almost 2 and says no words (with meaning) yet, she is vocal when she's happy/excited/playing/wanting something. She has been evaluated by Speech and Developmental pathologists who both agree she has receptive and expressive language delay. Her father did not say any words either until he was 4. Is there anything in particular you would advise me to do with her that wasn't already mentioned in this video since she still hasn't started saying any words with meaning yet? She indicates her needs by grabbing me by the hand or clothes and drags me to what she wants. I don't know what else to do besides narrate what she is doing. Am I missing an opportunity to do something more in these situations? Thank you so much for posting about this topic!
Carrie Dawn, talk, talk, talk. Model this for her and explain things. You may get tired of hearing yourself, but it is so necessary for children to hear. You may look into sign language and therapy.
My son is the exact same way. He does make a syllable sound for certain items (k sound for drink, buh sound for bye for example). He drags me to things or brings them to me. I know he understands some because if I say do you want a bath he will take me to the bathroom if he wants it. My brother has a language processing disorder but I was too young to notice how he was at such a young age. It feels amazing to see someone else has a child with similar behavior. How did you get started getting evaluated? Have you seen progress in the short amount of time that’s passed so far?
The terrible GOD, yes. This is how children are taught language. In speech therapy, we point it out more and work on smaller parts of speech. The techniques are valid for all children.
My son has a speech delay,therapy was given to him.but now he repeats whatever is said to him,but responds after repeating the question, how to stop repeating maam.
Talk to the therapist and see if there is something with the processing of the information. Sounds like that is what he is doing. See if they have suggestions.
In my similar child case that issued with the repetition with the time was less and less. The therapists recommend to instead of asking the question, give the child the responses. It is a little confusing this, but ask the therapists about it. Maybe that technique has a name. I would like to know more. That is the reason that I try to educate myself more and more, to better understand on what are the different ways to help my child.
My daughter is 3 and has been diagnosed with mixed receptive and expressive language. She is interested in potty training any kind of material and tips that you recommend?. I try to teach her in several session but I don't see any progress.
Read them picture books. Don't just read, notice things, ask them if they can find something on the page. Make the sounds that the animals make. Make connections between what is on the page and in their lives. Ex. "See that cherry tree, who has a tree like that in their yard? Grandma, right. Notice the tree at Aunt Bessie's next time we are there." Just a few quick ideas we do.
What about using this approach with my undiagnosed 13 year old who doesn’t express himself. 🤷🏻♀️ he’s verbal but never expresses ANY EMOTION OR FEELINGS. my husband enables and fills in the blank vs MODELS, repeats and expands. He refuses evaluation. HELP!!
nicole Wright limbasuta, you can use this approach with any child. Have your husband watch the video with you and talk to him about what is best for your child. I assume it is your son who is refusing the evaluation. Does he think he has a problem? If not, he would be less inclined to use any techniques to help him. Once he sees how expressing his feelings will help him with a goal or relationship he will be more likely to ask for help or undergo the evaluation.
nicole Wright limbasuta my 13 year old son is similar. He finally agreed to go for an assessment last month because he has been struggling so much in school. The report came back that he is diagnosed with Autism and a complex language disorder. I am shocked because all his life whenever I brought it up to professionals everyone always told me he is fine and doesn’t seem at all Autistic.
Paul, stop interrupting her and adding to her sentences. You're breaking up the content. And it's making it difficult for the viewers to listen to her. She is presenting material, not you,. It's soooo irritating.
My niece is 22 months old... she doesn't follow any simple instructions. Only says a few words...bye, hi, nice, and stuck. Won't ever respond to her name. Just shrieks when she wants something. Doesn't point or shake her head yes or no. There's really no way to communicate with her... not that I've found. She won't answer questions. I've really been trying to work with her for months now and have gotten nowhere.
@@sankaraiyergi3138 She's saying some words now.. but still not much and communicating is still difficult. We've been working with early intervention and she starts preschool this spring where she'll start to get some therapy. She also has an appointment for an autism evaluation in May. We made the appt last year, they were scheduling a year out.
Been doing all of this since she was born, for many hours a day, but our 12 month old can't point to or give an object she was introduced to 100s of times, or point to mum or dad. She doesn't speak any words at all and only babbles "ba".
Im an autistic adult with poor receptive language processing and its such an embarrassing problen to have. No one has the patience for you. Its very depressing.
Samuel Martinez, I think this video was from the time I had an eye surgery. It looks worse than it is. Just some broken blood vessels. Everything is healed.
