I have a few questions about those of you who have young children seeing a speech therapist....

When did you decide that it was time to see a speech therapist?

What happens at each session?

I`m just starting to wonder if Matthew should be seen by a speech therapist, in the last few weeks he`s been replacing d in some words for b such as drink is now brink, dripping is now bripping, he didn`t have a problem with these words before but now he does, he`s still fine with other d words such as dog, door.

I`d rather take Matthew to see a speech therapist sooner rather then later IYKWIM but wanting other people`s advice, do you think he should be seen to or should I just wait and see, he`s just gone 2.5 years.

I`m also a bit concerned as to how they tackle young children of this age, Matthew is always very quiet and reserve with new people/surroundings until he gets familiar with the situation then he comes out of his shell (a bit like Mummy and Daddy here), I don`t want him to be scared off going if it`s going to be a frightening situation to him and they force him to do things when he`s not ready.
