2xmom, I think you're going Catholic? I only hear about the public schools, so hopefully Catholic is better, it certainly sounds like it from what you've been saying.

I'm going to get the book recommended in some of Zoo's links - it's actually in the library right now, I can't believe it! My oldest was at TykeTalk also, and what they're doing with her seems a bit different than what they did with him, not just “repeat after me“ which is what my oldest got, but actually getting into her mouth and trying to position her tongue and teeth and lips correctly. I'll see what the book says. I think her problem has to do with not being able to position her mouth correctly. Like the signal isn't getting from her brain to her mouth muscles correctly? I wish I had emphasized that more yesterday. Sometimes she will want to tell me something and she'll say “Mummy.....(big pause)....I love you.“. I think she has something she wants to say but she can't figure out how to get her mouth to make the sounds right.

Leigh, what is ACSD? I bet I don't qualify anyway, I look very rich on paper, too bad it doesn't translate to real life.

I'm wondering if I am falling through the cracks a little bit here. My family doctor is basically letting TykeTalk handle it, except for when I had to ask for a referral. I don't have a regular pediatrician that I can ask. My family doc is good friends with Dr G so I know that is who she goes to for advice. Maybe I should also go back to my family doc?
