Answer 1

I am no doctor...but I am a teacher, my guess would be that he has some form of Autism. Look at other symptoms: does he have a hard time socializing? Does he get upset in a change of routine? Take him to see a medical doctor and a psychologist.

Answer 2

some children just have a difficult time processing verbal instructions and need to practise listening to instructions and doing the task. keep up with the speech therapy, they will work on it, it's not anything more so don't stress about it.

you will notice a big difference in a few weeks after the therapy and it's great that you've found the problem now. the speech therapists are specialists and their treatment really works so keep it up.

It will need constant work. A program can't cure it ... it will need ongoing support.

6 in 100 children will at some stage have a speech, language or communication difficulty.

Answer 3

you sound like your overwhelming the kid with the therapists! Gosh what kind of life is that!! Let him have some fun and stop choking the life out of him

Answer 4

It sounds like an attention issue. My guess would be ADD. I am a third grade teacher and those symptoms sound like attention to me.
