Alhamdulillah, after nearly 1 year attending speech therapy session at Putrajaya Hospital; Amirul is a good talker now. His new nursery’ environment also helping him a lots. His has many friends to talk to and teachers teaches him in correct way. He talks better compare before he attended the speech therapy. However, lately he is having this new problem : STAMMERING / GAGAP
It’s really annoying to me, and i really get angry everytime he start stammering. I’m not sure why suddenly this problem happened as Amirul is very good with his vocabulary. He do not have any problem in articulating words except for words consisting m,b, and p. Maybe lidah Amirul pendek skit as his speech therapy claim.
