My son, 2.4 yo, has just been given a conditional "all clear" by the ENT. He has a bit of glue ear but the doctor said it shouldn't affect his speech and language development. I'm not sure I believe this guy and certainly didn't like him, so I'll get a second opinion in a month or two from a guy I like in London.
The thing is, my son far behind in those two areas, I think. It's hard to tell with language as he is having a tantrum half the time, no matter what's said. And I'd like to get his speech and language assessed. I've got no idea how to go about it, but would like it done in London as I'm not sure of the quality of the fluent/native English speaking SALTs here. Soo.... any suggestions? It has to be private, obv, and I can get a referral if that's necessary. If you have any more suggestions about assessments, please feel free to give them to me. I'm thinking of a child psych, also... but don't know.
And if you know of a nice, comfy, quiet mental hospital for me when I finally lose my grip, post that also. I'll give the number to my husband so he can ship me off when it happens.
