Mariangeles:
Could he be autistic...?
They sometimes exhibit special abilities while lacking in some other areas...

DSDLIVEREPORT:
Why can't at least a state have at least one ENT hospital each.
Sad indeed.
Thought since Mr President travelled for his own treatment; Federal hospitals will at least be empowered in that regard

Callmemike:
I will try to be very brief. My son is some months shy of 4 years old. However he has not started talking. When he was almost 2 years we took him to FMC owerri for examination. The result said he was ok. Unsatisfied we went after some months. They referred us to the International Speech and Hearing Centre Enugu.

There the result was that his hearing is limited. They said we should come for a reevaluation when he is past 3 years to see if his hearing has improved or if he needs a hearing aid. But we were advised to enroll him into a school to increase his interactions. The problem with this then was his repeated bouts of illness after each two weeks in school. We tried homeschooling him for a term and half afterwards. This term we have enrolled him into a new, regular school and he has adapted just fine.

Between this period, we have visited other hospitals for evaluation and they said it is ok. That he is just a late developer.

We just went for a reevaluation and they said he does not need a hearing aid and that his hearing is very OK now. They recommended a professional speech therapist to help him pronounce words, since all he does is just babbles. He captures things fast and can act out a full cartoon movie.

So please if any info is available about a speech therapist in Owerri, it will be appreciated. Other advices are also welcome.

Please dominique, sisy3 and the famous lalasticlala, please help me push this to the front page. A child needs your help and i believe in your epatant care. Thank you

The son doeesn't need anything, it's you the father that needs a therapist, you want to tell me you don't know how to talk to your little child, what of when he becomes a teen and goes through the rebellious phase, You need to see a counselor or attend seminars on how to train children, if you keep running to therapists for every little problem it will create a poor relationship between you an him. Instead, you go to a therapist yourself and learn how to be a better father.

Callmemike:


A speech therapist is a trained expert that specializes in speech issues. Sure we read to him, talk to him and all, yet we are open to professional help that can help him.

Callmemike:


Yes. It is a normal in some kids. It is called Einsten's syndrome.

iguita:
Not an expert but your son looks fine to me.. I think he needs time. When he starts, na you go run.

Rokafela:
My son is 5 years old and he doesn't speak either. He has been diagnosed as Autistic have a look at this link:

https://www.google.co.uk/urlsa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=8&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiJjIGXwNjZAhVKW8AKHTUJAhsQFgh4MAc&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.autism.org.uk%2Fabout%2Fwhat-is.aspx&usg=AOvVaw2aK5ijU0vgMohHR4kwOuOQ

and see whether it is helpful. ASD generally effects our ability to socialise and communicate. There isn't enough support in Nigeria so you will have to do everything yourself. Trust me people with ASD are superhuman with the right support your child will be great
