I came across an article recently on the effect of speech impairment to children if it is not treated before they start primary school. The title of the article was "Children with untreated speech problems 'do poorly at school'". It was published online by the www.theage.com.au just on Wednesday, 16 November 2011.
Here is the link:

I was kind of sleppy and was thinking of switching off my notebook and head to bed when I saw the article. I was attracted to reading it further because I was just curious. The article has got me thinking... About the boys... What else do I need to do in addition to the therapy sessions that they are currently having? Am beginning to feel nervous about their future. Will they ever be able to socialise with other people? How will people perceive them? Will they grow out of their current state? :'(
Sadly, I don't know... Hubby and I, together with the therapies and specialists are still trying to find their special talents. So far, from our observation, Asyraff is more inclined towards music and puzzles. Aimar is more on sports and cars. What does that tell me? Other than the obvious, I don't really know...
Hmmm... We still have a lot to do, a lot to follow up, a lot to find out... Dear Allah, please help us...
