He is attending British council coz his PD at CDU said he will need that for comprehension in future.

Other than that, he's attending speech therapy with kkh rehab. He still stutters but better. His articulation has improved a lot since he started ST. Now we can understand what he says clearly. My boy has a very good memory so we make him memorize some sentences. We need to take advantage of their strengths to help them.

He's doing well in school for English and Maths even though he is the youngest in the class. And despite him not able to speak well. Somehow when the grammar is on the paper, he knows what is the correct form. So not being able to speak well doesn't mean cannot do English paper. Like a lot of kids here, he also reads exceptionally well. I think reading is a way of compensating his speech delay.

Thanks mashy

My boy can identify grammar on paper when to use what.
But when he speaks. All wrong. He and she also mix up when he speaks. But he knows the differences. Tenses too.

Same! Somehow the different compartments of the brain isn't working hand in hand. Sigh.

I can always tell when he is speaking or regurgitating. Hahaha. Coz when regurgitating, his grammar is perfect!

tat's may be due to listening to broken eng environment... take note of ur speech to him, also for dh and in-laws... so that he doesnt think singlish is the right way of speech..

It seem that our child is similar, no son got no prob in his paperwork too, eg. Vocab, gammar, comprehension and etc. he can read very well too, just that when he speak, he sound so wrong (mixing I and you). Great to find similar case here, I alway thought I was alone, there is no friend’s child with similar case Ard me. And I don’t anyhow tell others regarding my son condition, afraid ppl will treat him differently.

Does Yoga (like the Amanda Marg) centre in Parkway help in calming kids so that they are more calmer, less hyper for better p1 preparation?
