I know several smart people who were slow to develop in this area as children but have no difficulty today. They were a little late to talk and had difficulties in pronunciation and spelling. With practice and development they eventually turned into perfect speakers. One continued to have minor spelling difficulties early on in school; another overcompensated and became an expert speller.

I'm no doctor (or parent) and there are other serious medical conditions, but if she is okay in other areas, then I think she will be fine in a few more years. It sounds like you are doing great.

Keep up the practice of speech and spelling, love, and positive encouragement. Make sure she knows she is okay and intelligent.

You may know about it, but there are several books and articles on late talking in children and the so-called "Einstein Syndrome". [Albert Einstein was a late talker (age 9 according to Wikipedia).] Although I am unsure if this condition is related to your daughter or to those I know, it may be helpful information. I've only read a few reviews, but there are several books and articles out there.


Wish you the best.
