Do you have any children with severe speech delays/disorders?
If so, do the severe speech errors bother you?
Do you worry about the influence on your own child?
I currently have infants and 4 preschool age children (including my son). Myself and my assisstant (my mom). I've never had this problem so bad but now I have high percentage of children with severe articulation disorder. My own son just turned 3 and speaks very well. Another child his exact age also speaks perfectly. But the other 2 children are almost 4 and both diagnosed with severe articulation disorder that makes 90% of their speech unintelligible.
The well spoken child has been with me 1.5years. One of the delayed children has been here since 24 months so 2 years. The other delayed child has only been here a few weeks and didn't talk enough at the interview to notice.
The long term child has sometimes bitten and scratched out of communication frustration but has mostly grown out of that acting out. The new child is very well behaved. But both BUTCHER everything they say and neither are receiving any intervention.
I know it's not nice to say but now lIstening to TWO severe speech disorders makes my ears bleed and drives me BANANAS. Would it concern anyone else for your young 3 year old to be listening to 2 out of 3 peers speak so unintelligibly for 40-50 hours a week?
Please don't underestimate how severe the articulation disorders are. Really an outsider does NOT understand anything these 2 (unrelated) children say. The only reason we can understand some is because we spend so many hours a week listening to it.
