Ds is 2.8 and HV refered us because she was concered about ds's speech.
It was his first session today and i'm abit worried myself now.
At first we were asked about ds in general.That was all fine.Then she tried to do different things with him.She had a plastic spoon,fork,plate cup and doll.She asked ds to put the spoon into the cup,but he just picked them all up and put them back into the box.She did this abot 4 times each time he would put them back into the box.He didn't do any of the tasked even when she blow bubbles and asked him to pop them,he was just blowing them.He says afew words but most of them can't be understood,and most of the time he just babbles.
The therapist said she would write up her finding and send us a letter.She did say she thought ds would benefit from group sessions,where he would mostly play with other.But there is a long waiting list so most likely would be til the summer.
Anybody been through the same or have any advice.I didn't relise how bad his talking was till today.Or hom much he doesn't follow instuctions.HELP
