Please get him evaluated by a speech therapist and social worker. It may be nothing, but if it is an issue (perhaps he isnt hearing well anymore, perhaps it is psychological...)you want to deal with it asap.

if you live in ny area you can call yeled vyalda, challenge, omni, etc

let me know if u need the numbers

As I said in my very first post, there was a big change for him about a month ago. Thats no secret.
But not every time this happens to a child's speech pattern is it because of something stressful.

I also noticed recently he is more unclear with strangers than others. I guess he's a little nervous. He is also more unclear when he is tired.
