Delayed speech and poor eating habits, reposted?
Question by mom omarion : delayed speech and poor eating habits, reposted
my son will be 3 in October. For the last two months, he received speech therapy because he has a speech delay. Recently, when I took him to his pediatrician, I pointed out to her that he has a lack of skills to eat. He eats and drinks the most milk products namely milk, yogurt, ice cream and cheese. If I try to give other foods, he will chew and swallow. It will store it on the side of his mouth. Initially when he started speech therapy, his hearing was tested and is fine. I just watched the correlation between poor eating habits and language delay. From what I read, there is a strong correlation between the two. Has anyone had to deal with this issue. All tips are greatly appréciés.Remarque: It has already been tested by its pediatircan, special education specialist, and therapist. It has not been diagnosed with any type of autism. He can talk, and actually, since the service started speech, his speech has improved dramatically. It was just tested a few days ago. He spent 12 to 14 months behind having to be present only seven months behind. This is a great look that he did not start services earlier than when he fait.Oublié adding that he was just seen by his pediatrican few days ago for his 2 1 / 2 physical year. We must return in 2 weeks and at that time, I will raise this issue with elle.Meilleure response:

It could be a delay motor skills. The reason for speaking and eating habits are linked because they both involve muscles around the mouth. If the muscles are underdeveloped that it would affect speech and eating. There are therapists who specialize in two speech and orofacial myofunctional therapy. The therapy helps develop increased range of motion, the precision, speed, muscle tone, stabilization, and strength of the oral structures necessary for speech and feeding and reduce the poor control of food while eating, and improve breath support adequate respiration, phonation, resonance and skills necessary for speech. Your pediatrician may be able to recommend someone if this is the case.
