Talking
My son just turned 3 and his words still aren’t clear. Is that normal? I hear other kids in his church school who you can like hold conversions with. They will tell their parents oh so and so was sick at school. I can understand a lot of things he is saying but it’s because I spend most days with him. When he goes to sing a song he gets like the first 5 or 6 words and the rest just becomes mumble jumble ? I have reached out to his dr for speech therapy but I can’t seem to actually get someone to contact me, is anyone else’s kids like this or should I be pushing harder for
Somewhere else to take him?!!

I’m a special education preschool teacher and I work with lots of kiddos who have speech delays. An unfamiliar listener (someone who doesn’t spend a lot of time around d the child) should be able to understand about 50% of what they are saying. They should also be be speaking in 2-3 world phrases to express their wants and needs. If you have concerns and are in the US, you can reach out to your local school district and request and evaluation for special education services. They will evaluate your child and if they qualify, will receive therapy at no cost through the district.
