One more thing- his articulation is also poor and his most stuttered sounds are the ones he has the most trouble saying properly. We've been wondering if we should also be seeing an oral motor artic therapist, to kind of come at this from both angles. Also wondering if we should get into behavioral therapy. Used a great CBT guy for our older son (has ADD) and I'm wondering if he might also be able to help with the psychological aspects of this, as I do think that my son's anxiety is playing into this. My husband and I are trying to work on acceptance, but it's very hard for a parent, esp. now that we see him getting teased by others and frustrated at his speaking problems. I honestly think we were TOO accepting at the beginning and didn't even realize he stuttered as much as he did until others pointed it out to us. Now we've kind of swung back in the other direction.
