Dd aged 4.5 has been recommended to have a SALT assessment by her nursery. We have been waiting since January, but a referral was only made this month, and I have been told we could be waiting a further 12-16 weeks for an initial assessment, if they decide to see her!
I just wanted some advice:
Is there anything I can do in the meantime to try to support her? She has unclear speech, and consistent grammatical errors which would not be expected for her age. Shorter sentences than expected too, with poor sentence structure.
Is it worth getting a hearing test while waiting?
Should I get a private assessment? We could afford this but I don't know if the recommendations would then be acted upon in the same way by the state school she will be starting in September?
After her assessment should I contact her future school before she starts?
Thank you!
