my son is also 3... his situation sounds very similar to that of your son. his doc started him on amantadine about a month ago. much more vocal. he is now pointing to things and spontaneously naming them. last night a spider jumped off the shower curtain, and LOL, he jumped out of tub very, very quickly! but then he started saying, "stider" and is still saying it today... i read a post about omega 3 oils too. my son's doc said it wouldn't hurt anything, and might help.
let me know if u find out anything

Your son sounds like my son did a few months ago. He was 2 at the time, but since he turned 3 in April, he's been in school and working with a speech therapist, and talks a ton more now than ever before.

My son takes my hand and uses it to get what he needs. If he wants a drink out of his cup, he holds my hand against the cup. He likes to bring me his shoes and my car keys so that I know he's ready to go to grandma's or to the park. He's real intelligent (and I'm smiling as I'm typing this), but communication would be more helpful! LOL.. Can you tell me more about the omega 3 oils? I've never heard anything about them. He has speech therapy and starts school in fall so I'm hoping that that'll help. Do you have any other information that could help?

conner doesnt speak much either he just decovered he can do the k sound (he is almost 3 will be 3 in oct) yesterday he said illll..long pause then kaaaa ..so yea! he now has some of milk down. he dont do m yet but maybe soon. but he has his own lil language i think im the only one who knows it. he does the dragging me around to what he wants or points also

My son was 3 1/2 before I heard "Mommy" more words reappeared (reappeared because he had over 200 that disappeared around 2 1/2) around 4. Sentences around 4 1/2- 5. And started answering questions around 5- 5 1/2 - 6.

My son did the same thing and still does occasionally, he is turning 5 on Sunday the 8th =) and started talking about a year ago.. I waited so long to hear anything and everything he had to say, and still he only says sentences if hes quoting a cartoon he watched. I get single words "once in awhile" like cookie or juice and want water (which means pool) he talks to my husband when prompted but not me, I am told that because he doesn't look at me like a separate person but like I am "one" with him.. (still trying to wrap my mind around that one) anywho, I can't exactly tell you how your son will be, but only what I have seen. I have learned not to expect from Logan but appreciate what he can and can't do! I do know hes getting better it just takes time and lots and lots of therapy and attention

How often is your speech therapy? If it's only once a week that may not be enough. My son has 1 to 1 sessions twice a week and group once a week. As well, we read a lot, starting with books with objects and words and then moving into more structured (but age appropriate stories). Lastly, even if our son didn't respond we still talked to him often and always. So while driving to school I would have a one-way conversation talking about the day, the drive, what I saw. I wanted him to hear as much connected speech as possilbe. Ultimately, he did turn a corner.

Hi my son is now 11 and did not talk ntill 3 or older, he was taught some signs. Then his speech therapist offered intense Lindomood Bell Therapy, he learn to talk well and read well. He always test high in vocabulary now and talks sooooo much. Lots of questions. I saw a Lindomood Bell lick on this web site
