ive had my sons speech and language report through the post today.he's had speech and development problems but since september when he started playgroup he has made remarkable progress and is now talking in sentences.his speech report from a 20 minute session with someone a few weeks ago says that the average 'score' for a child of his age in each area should be between 7 and 13.in 3 areas my son has only gained a score of 3 and the other area gained a score of 7.it says he's considerably delayed etc and that he will need alot of help at school to understand the curriculum.maybe it shouldnt have been a shock but everyone who knows him has commented on how well he's doing and how much he's improved over the last year.SENCO did a report and said that he wouldnt need any extra help at school apart from the help that there already is within the school such as teaching assistants.i just feel really down now that he hasnt caught up more.im assuming they mean that he's developing well but still very delayed from where he should be for his age.anyone else had this/know anything about it all??
