Unfortunately, you are 16 years too late! The brain is best receptive to speech therapy at 2-3 years of age! You have to bite the bullet and pay for the "expensive" speech therapy as there is no other alternative! This is going to be a long drawn process. I am sure you will find a way to pay for those sessions as you do love your child and want the best for him.

At the age of 18 speech therapy will not help a much. You can give speech therapy at home. Your speech therapist will explain you.
