Any suggestion... my son until now doesn't speak

[OTEP]

Ito kinopya ko lang sa textbook namin (siyempre may variations ang ibang textbook).

Kung ang bata ay 3 years old na and at par with age ang development (meaning hindi delayed), sa language development dapat:
-Knows age and ***
-Counts 3 objects
-Uses plurals, past tense
-Tells little stories about experiences

Compare with the 9 month old child which should be able to:
-Imitate sounds
-Orients to bell (directly)
-"Dada, Mama" discriminately
-Follows one step command without gesture

Look up mo na lang sa internet ang 'Developmental Milestones'. Naka-table form iyan.

the uncle of my wife did not speak until he was 6 or 8yo. now, he is the most successful among the siblings.

lage mong kausapin sir. ipahalubilo mo rin sa ibang kids.

Clavel,

PAreho tayo ng case. My second child, daughter na magpo-four yo sa august, di parin nagsasalita. Ipinasok namin sya sa speech clinic, medyo natigil nga lang kasi andun na kami sa stage na dapat may mga task na ipinagagawa sa kanya kaso ayaw ng anak ko na mahiwalay sa mama nya kaya for the mean time nag stop muna kami.
This coming school year isasama namin sya sa day care nursery school para madeveop yung socialization sa ibang bata. Talagang worried na kami ng wife ko kasi nga papa ang mama pa lang ang alam nya pero intellectually ang galing nyang makipagcommunicate wala nga lang mabuong salita. PInakain ko nga rin ng p_ke ng babaoy pero ganoon pa rin. Pero I'm hoping pa rin thru prayers na makakapagsalita sya kasi yung first child ko 1 1/2 pa lang nagsalita na ng derecho dito naman sa pangalawa sobrang delay naman.
Patulong na rin sa ibang tsikoteers kung may alam kayo kung saan puede pang ma-refer yung ganitong case.

TIA

As for TV shows, Dora The Explorer is pretty good. Kasi paulit-ulit yung words, madaling makuha ng bata.

I think the first cheapest solution is to have him "tambay" sa maraming tao na kakausap sa kanya.

Sabi nga nila meron late ang speech development pero walang problema pag marunong na.

Have your child screened for signs of AUTISM. My nephew has similar signs like your child and he was diagnosed as autistic. So make sure you bring him to the doctor and have him examined to confirm or rule out.

when I was young sabi ng parents sobrang meek ko daw, I rarely speak. when I was 5 years old, kinausap pa ng kindergarten teacher ang mom ko coz napakamahiyain ko daw at ayaw ko nakikipag-usap/socialize sa mga klasmeyts ko.

10 years later sila na sumusuko sa akin sa sobrang daldal ko daw. yun tipong 11pm na eh ang dami-dami ko pa daw sinasabi kahit antok na antok sila.

[Flagg]

Sir clavel, try mo babarin sya sa mga hilig nya. Yung son ko usually tahimik pero dami sinabi pag nakakita sya ng mga truck, bus, train, legs and pag narinig nya yung Mr. Suave... Minsan nga, may nilapitan syang cutie na chicks, nag-pa-cute ngiti sya tapos sinabihan nyang "I love you." (Own initiative yun ha, di ko sinuhol)

Sir yebo, naniniwala po ako na green dominant mga tao dito...

[Tha_Mann]

same w/ my 2-yr old son. actually last week lng dinala namin sa ibang pedia anak ko and napansin nya na medyo delay nga development nya (yung pedia ksi ng anak ko eh sabi normal lng daw yun) . although mabilis sya maka pick up ng mga ginagawa namin, like yung alam nya yung door knob eh pang bukas ng pinto, marunong na sya kumain using spoon by himself, eh delay yung pag sasalita nya and he lacks concentration, lalo na pag tinuturuan mo.

my son will be undergoing some test this coming sat sa st. luke's, neuro something yata ill ask my wife about it. parang nde pa ksi mag sink-in sa kin.

pero nag research din ako, more on ADHD ang problem ng anak ko, ksi may mga signs na medyo ganun nga. and as much as possible, iniiwasan ko na din ang sobrang panunuod ng TV ng son ko ksi dun nakaka agaw ng attention nya. and sa ibang case naman eh nasobrahan ng DHA sa milk, yung ibang pedia pinapabago ang milk ng bata.

we tried to enroll our son sa day care, ang nangyari eh nde sya gano maka cope up w/ some kids ksi nde pa sya gano makipag communicate.

doc Otep (and to others), if ever ill need referals pm kita ha. medyo magastos ksi sa st. luke's and kelangan namin ng ibang option.

tnx guys

Observe mo kung nakikipag "eye contact sya"... I rread some articles na pag hindi nakikipag eye contact ang bata medyo matalaga talaga magsalita Ewan ko ano connection non nabasa ko lang dati

If I'm not mistaken the eye-contact thing is if the child can't take in too much detail, he can't look at eyes - too much detail, so he always looks away.

[yebo]

autistic yung ayaw maki-eye contact.

kanya-kanyang pace of development kc mga bata...my 5yr old started speaking before she turned 1 & was already speaking in proper english sentences at 3-4, while our 4yr old son has been having difficulty articulating. no problem w/ comprehension. so we've enrolled him in speech development classes. try bringing him to st luke's for evaluation, sa neuro dev.its the building behind the main,sa college of med.5th floor.after that get one or 2 more opinions

[afrasay]

may kapitbahay ako dati hindi rin nagsasalita yun kid pero nakakanta niya yun mga themes ng cartoons, eventually nag salita rin...ok lang yan.

[utakabo]

if there are no other observable symptoms, then you may assume na normal yan, as what have been mentioned, children develop at different rate. however, for your peace of mind, it is best that you seek professional opinion like what otep said. one good thing is nagsasalita naman pala sya, hindi nga lang madalas.

yung sa bunso ko nun iba naman ang problema, hindi sya nagugulat kahit na anong lakas ng sound (christmas season nun pero himbing ng tulog nya kahit na lakas ng putukan sa labas). only after running several neuro tests on her that we were assured that everything's normal.

btw, if you're a Catholic you might want to pray through the intercession of St. Gianna Beretta Molla (she's a patron saint of mothers and children as she was a pedia). We named our bunso after her and we also prayed through her when we were having the problem.

ditto with all of the above

i once had an officemate who didnt start speaking until she was 4. her parents thought she was deaf-mute. she's more than making up for lost time now

[kimpOy]

baka naman mahina ang pandinig?

well kasi ako matagal din daw ako bago nagsalita, tapos yung panganay ko rin medyo late na rin magsalita tapos nag uutal pa, sinabi namin sa pedia niya at nagsagawa ng mga tests pati hearing test baka naman kasi walang naririnig ang o mahina ang pandinig ng bata...

sa st lukes kami nagsigawa ng mga tests, puntahan mo si Dra Amy Dy sa St lukes tues thurs 9-12am only then siya na mag bibigay ng order kung ano ang mga tests na dapat gawin...

good luck pare...

peeps, share ko lang sa inyo...marami palang me similar situation dito about their kids..
as parents, kailangan muna natin na ma accept na there is something wrong with our child..this is the first step..or pwede rin nating ideny na walang problema and this will just pass..

i for one ganon din..3 1/2 years old na 2nd son ko di parin nagsasalita (bulol pa rin)..heres what we did:

last january we decided na patingin siya sa isang neuro pedia sa phil childrens hospital (agham road). Kay dra. avendano...for two hours inevaluate sya...this doctor will rate your kid kung nasan na yung level ng learning nya...example..motor skills nya..sasabihin kung pang ilang age yung level nya..then this doctor will conclude kung autistic yung bata based on the series of test...as for my son..hindi nya ma conclude na autistic yung anak ko....she recommended na pa check namin sa occupational therapist to correct some of my sons ways...she gave a document about her findings and this must be shown sa OT of our choice...she also suggested na patingin namin yung hearing nya...which we did...okey naman ang hearing nya as tested sa phil children hospital...

now sa Occupation therapist...marami dyang pagpipilian..meron mura merong mahal...naka dalawa na kami na OT...yung una DISASTER! yung anak ko natatakot pumunta don..na trauma ata...yung OT na yon ayaw nilang makita yung ginagawa nila sa anak namin..different OT iba iba ang style..yung iba ok lang na nakikita mo yung ginagawa nila..so we change to a different OT...this time hiyang yung anak ko...lagi syang excited pag andon na kami..all smiles..never umiiyak...then after ng theraphy nya..super saya nya...almost 3 months pa lang kami ang we seen a great improvement sa son ko..tinuturuan pa kami nung OT kung ano gagawin sa bahay para mapabilis yung development...then pag okay na behaviour nya we will switch to a speech therapist...fortunately ginagawa na rin ito nung OT nya...
and of course, PRAYERS is very important sa process na ito.

please enlighten me gaano ba katanda para masabi na may delay na isang bata

it depend po sir, sabi ni sir yebo meron iba na nag-oobserve lang, meron iba madaldal na. try mo pa check sa pedia-neuro, try mo po yun recommend ni sir otep na doctor. if ever meron din akong refer sayo dito sa amin na doctor sa hospital, sa neurodevelopmental center, st. luke's medical center.
