…It takes a lot of effort on my part to encourage and hear my child say words or sounds.
…My child has behaviors (hitting, biting, yelling, crying) because he is frustrated that he can’t say what he wants to say.
…I can’t understand what my child is trying to tell me, and other adults have an even harder time.
…It seems that my child is missing the smaller pieces that make a full sentence.
…I have no idea what my child did today at school because he struggles to tell me about his day.
…Reading and writing are very effortful for my child.
