My girl was very late in talking, she can't talk till 4.5 yrs old. So we send her to do a ASD assessment and found she is having lauguage disorder. She start her SLT last year nov 2011. Now she can talk better, read and understand better. She is picking up her second language now in Sch. It help to speed up her development in language understanding. A speech and language therapy will help to correct a child or person on pronounce, reading and all issue about SPEECH and LANGUAGE. I saw kids going to her for pronouncing words and sound from very young to Pri. Is a one to one therapy. Abt $150 per session. But pronouncing problem can be a long term issue, if it not be corrected. U can try Kk hospital but is a long wait (can wait for six months) and slow process (3months therapy and 3 months hoilday) but much cheaper. U can pm me if u need further info.
