Bevans speech


I've been woried from time to time that Bevan doesn't have very clear speech. He does talk a lot now, but most of it I have no idea what he is saying.
I have actually now got him on a waiting list to be assessed by a speech therapist, but the list is around 6 months long, so perhaps he'll have come right by then anyway.

Today I noticed him pronounce the "k" in a word that sounded like "park". That is quite a step up from what he has been saying.

Car is still his favourite word, and "cat" and "juice" follow closely behind. Some other words I've recognised lately are ball, tree, Christopher (a long one that!). Usually the context and his gestures help me to figure out what he is trying to tell me.

I'll also ask for a referral to have is hearing tested. I know he can hear stuff, such as the trains 2 blocks away, but perhaps his ears are muffled, like glue ear or wax buildup or something.
