You're such an amazing mom, my brother was having an amazing mom, my brother was having speech issues as well he's now 7 and just last year he finally started talking good in complete sentences. We finally understand him, we went through so much. Now we teach him how to read because we were so focused on everything else," oner user commented.

"He has co-therapies [every] week but we're going to step it up a notch soon and get him ABA treatments, speech therapy," she explained.
"He's made leaps and bounds when it comes to speech," she continued. "He's understanding words better which was his issue. Not that he couldn't speak, but he would never know what his shoe is or if you said, 'Greyson,' he actually didn't even know his name at one point until he was a little over two. So now that he's understanding simple words, he's come so far."

Despite the challenges, Farley said previous that Greyson is livings best life" and is making great progress in his life.
