Hello Linda,
Our son is also 3.5 yrs and no speaking yet. He's also delayed on everyother milesostone. Our son is a very big drooler also and has the tongue issue.
His not speaking can be caused by his delay in development , but he has also got a severe hearingloss and swallowing disorder.
He had his jaw distraction when he was 3 weeks old. We've never heard about the TLA until I found this forum. Our doctors here in Belgium didn't told us about that possibility.
Kind regards
Tanja

: to follow up.. My son is 3.5 yrs and no
: speaking yet, he just doesn't seem to care
: about it at this point. Since he had been
: delayed on everyother milestone I'm not
: freaking out and figure that he will just do
: things when he sees fit and not a moment
: sooner. I too would be interested to know
: if people with older children have the
: tongue issue and if their children were
: delayed in talking, etc. I'd also like to
: know if your children are big droolers. We
: have to keep bibs on him constantly. He
: does drink through a staw but has always
: used his tongue to suck and never involves
: his bottom lip. He did have the distaction
: when he was 2 weeks old. One last
: question... how many of you went the route
: of the jaw distaction vs the TLA.

: My daughter who is seven months has the same
: thing, We noticed it at birth but I thought
: that just the way it is with PRS I didn't
: think much of it, I can tell that as her jaw
: comes forward, on its own, her tounge in
: decending down, but because of the extra
: tissue it has nowhere to go. It seems like
: she has alot of stuff in her month, no
: wonder she cant swallow.

: My PED and docs had not much to say about
: it...
: Sorry,not much help. But is seems to be a
: problem, in my eyes for my daughter.
