Speech Delay & Therapy - Finn's 3 Year Story In His Words from the beginning. SJ STRUM
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2020
- Finn has spent the last 3 years in various forms of Speech Therapy; I wanted to put this video together so you can hear his speech from age 2 to age 6. I know it's the kind of video I'd have appreciated those years ago - i hope it's a positive story during tough times and gives you hope if you too have a child with Speech Delay.

Some Extra Info:
- The nanny came everyday 8.00-18.00 while I was at work, she didn't live in.
- We found our private Speech Therapist by asking for recommendations on our local mums facebook page
- Finn had 45 minutes once a week privately and 1 hour every 3/4 weeks on the NHS.
- When we moved house we lost our place in NHS therapy and were told the wait was so long in Surrey that he wouldn't start before school started (and then the school have to takeover as part of Special Educational Needs) So we had to go private to get help the year before school.
- Finn started on a Special Educational Needs program so has school targets for speech, this also meant they wouldn't give him educational targets. But now he has those as he's so much easier for teachers to understand they can properly asses him. He's still on the SEN programme.
- He's finished Speech Therapy now mainly due to Covid-19 his therapist isn't available to work. However I don't think he'll need more.

This is so beautifully done:) you had me crying with all the clips lol Thanks for doing this with me xo 😘
It was so emotional collecting them all!! Then I got to share them with Finn and he was so amazed at his own progression. LOVED collaborating with you - thanks for being my huge support xxx
Hearing him talk at the end was so beautiful it made me cry! He sounds like the 6yr old he is! So proud of him & YOU Mama! It doesn’t matter how long the work takes, as long as you do the work & you both did the work! 😭❤️
Yes he does doesn't he :-) I'm so happy for him xxx
oh SJ this made me cry! Sweet little Finn is such a warrior, hearing him say he was proud of himself and knowing you were proud of him was just incredible. You are such a fantastic mum ❤️ Keep it up Finn, you’re amazing!
Thank you Alessandra, I'm reading him out the comments and he's so excited - he was really excited to put this video up :-) xxx
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience.
This change is insane. I am crying. You have such a warrier for a son, SJ and this is so amazing.
And he has this little underlying Scandi accent and it's gorgeous.
Oh my gosh, this made me teary when I heard him say “I am Finn”. So special. It is clear how lovely your bond is. Xx
missbekah77 he’s definitely taught me more than I’ve taught him xx
OMG, I hope he knows that everyone is so proud of him and that he has done so well. This litteratly brought me to tears , I hope he knows how good he has done and how much he has accomplished. Congratulations, Lots of love, all the way from Australia.
Thanks so much - I read him your message :-) He's very proud of himself and I think he's so confident now as he knows he just needs to sit and learn and he can do anything. xxx
His speech is so amazing now. The difference is outstanding. Go Finn!
Jess Yeldon thank you so so much Jess x
"You can be proud of yourself and you can learn." Cue all the tears. He is just the cutest, sweetest little boy. What an amazing, amazing lesson for him to learn so young, to be so empathetic, positive, and hardworking. I'm just sitting here weeping, wow.
I know - In a way his speech delay will carry him so far in life. He's so empathetic and kind, he sees anyone who is an outsider and goes right to them. I think he'll end up working with children and being such a kind soul xx
Thank you for my story! Im going through speech development with my 3yr daughter now.this gives me hope
My 3 year old little boy has about a 100 word vocabulary with 2-3 word phrases at times, but none of it is perfectly articulated. We have attempted two different speech evaluations, but he was instantly distracted with all the toys the moment he walked in the rooms. He wouldn’t cooperate with the flip charts or flash cards at all. I’ve never been more heart broken. His pediatrician assured us he shows no autistic red flags, only a speech delay. I have started working intensively with him at home, as well as his three older sisters and his daddy. He’s saying new words nearly every day, but again, none perfectly articulated. We’re scheduled for the hearing test next week. After that, I’m willing to try yet another speech therapist, if we can figure out a way for the evaluation to not involve a room full of toys. Your video gives me hope. I’ve felt so defeated and at a loss, as well as the guilt you spoke of.
Thank you for your comment. How is your boy's speech now?
I’m literally tearing up . I’m going through this right now with my 4 year old . He is starting head start(pre-K) in a couple weeks and I’m scared to death . This gave me hope . Thanks so much
He’ll do great / Finn speaks so well now and is a really popular and outgoing little boy xxxxxxx

Oh I'm so so proud of Finn 🎉 What an inspiring little boy, moving story and video, thank you SJ for sharing yours and finns experience 💙 Such a brave journey! Finn, you little star, well done you 🌟
Very empowering. Keep shining Finn. 💚
I started studying Speech and Language Therapy before dropping out in my second year just because the career wasn’t for me but seeing videos like this still makes my heart warm and so proud of my friends that are still training. Speech therapy I believe is so under looked by a lot of people as I don’t think they realise that so many people have speech issues (they even help those with swallowing difficulties). Thanks so much for bringing light to it and helping parents in the same situation. Finn is such a gorgeous boy ❤️
This is such a beautiful video, I have goosebumps. So proud of you and your family.
Oh goodness, here come the tears! Thank you SJ, this video is so wonderful, Finn is such a sweet little boy and his speech is brilliant! Love how he said his tongue got better ❤
What an incredible little man. I can't imagine the amount of work you all put in to help him get to where he is today. You can see how proud he is of himself, bless his heart!
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH he’s so clever. what an angel. you’re such a good mom sj ❤️
Crying over here! 😭❤️ This is so inspiring. What an amazing little boy and loving parents!
What a beautiful video SJ. I'm was smiling at the end to hear Finn speaking. You must be so proud. Hope you're all ok. Ali x
This is beautiful.❤️ you are an amazing mother. Thank you both for sharing this.x well done Fin 🥰
Oh, this is so touching. He's so wise and brave. I could see you both getting emotional 💔 It really shows how much love there is between you both, you can tell how much he looks to you for guidance. He's absolutely amazing bless him🥰 massive well done Finn! 🎉
what a sweet and wonderful boy! He is such a warrior! Love this!
He is such a beautiful little boy with such loving parents xx
In tears watching this - well done Finn 👍🏽 you're an amazing boy! You should be very very proud young boy xx
Absolutely love this video and hearing Finn speak. ❤
This is so unbelievably heart-warming. Little Finn should be so proud of himself. I am looking into going into a career in speech and language therapy and seeing how chuffed Finn is and you are with his improvement and how much it has changed your lives is definitely a motivation to work hard! All the best to you all xxx
What a sweet boy! Such a moving story. Amazing to see how great his speech is now.
What an lovely inspirational video! You both should be very proud 🤍
Oh such a lovely and emotional video. Finn is so brave and you are a fantastic mum! ❤️💕❤️
Aww SJ this is beautiful! Look how good his speech is now, you can understand everything he is saying so clearly! What a strong little boy and what a wonderful family 😘 we hear you Finn and you have a fabulous voice❤
Wow, amazing Finn. He’s a lovely little lad and he should be so proud of himself! My cousin struggled with speech so much, only his twin sister could understand him fully and it was so hard to see him get so frustrated when his sister wasn’t there to help us understand him. He had speech therapy and is now 10, it was a very long process and he still finds it challenging to pronounce particular words clearly but it’s amazing seeing children who have struggled with speech get better and better every day. You must be so proud of Finn, it’s amazing to see how far he’s come!
I just love little Finn, he is soo sweet! Well done all of you this is amazing 💛💙💚
Omg crying my eyes out here! Your so inspiring total mum goals! Xx
I can't thank you enough for this video. It gave me so much hope and inspiration. Lots of love to you and Finn..
