By age 4 a child is expected to be understandable to others 90% of the time. There are different reasons why some children have trouble with speaking clearly. Difficulties with speaking clearly and not being understood can leave a child feeling frustrated and impact on their self confidence. A Speech-language pathologist will start by conducting a speech evaluation to better understand the nature of the child's speech difficulty and develop an individualized treatment plan. Parent education and training is provided to ensure maximal support at home and to facilitate faster progress.
Reading & Literacy
Children who begin speaking late may continue to lag behind their peers in language and be at greater risk for academic and reading difficulties once they start school. Challenges with reading are also fairly common among children with average language skills. Difficulty with decoding and reading comprehension impacts on a child's ability understand the school curriculum as well as their performance on written tests and assignments.

Toilet Training
Toileting is an important skill for daily life that has many social implications. In order for the child to achieve this important milestone, children and families need to establish a clear toileting routine. This will ensure a child has success in school and in social situations.
There are many reasons why toilet training can take a long time. Many children with special needs including children with ASD learn to use the toilet at a late age. Knowing about some of the common problems that can make toileting difficult for a can help you come up with different ways to meet your child’s needs. Here are some ideas to think about:
Using Different Toilets: Some children learn a toileting routine at home or school, but have a hard time going in other places such as public restrooms.
Need for sameness (aka routine): Some children already have their own ways of urinating and having bowel movements. Learning new ways to toilet may be difficult.
Dressing: Some children have difficulty pulling their pants down or pulling them back up.
Body cues: Some children may not be aware that they need to go or that their clothes are wet or soiled.
Fears: Some children with ASD are afraid of sitting on toilet seats or hearing toilets flush. Getting used to the toilet by using a visual schedule and making it part of the routine can make it less scary.
Language: Some children have trouble understanding and using language. Do not expect a child with autism to ask to use the toilet.
Physical: There may be a physical or medical reason for toileting difficulties. Discuss these issues with your child’s pediatrician.
