I am really confused. My son had his assessment last week with speech and language therapy. I got the report today and all the way the though she goes on about his speech and language is delayed she couldn't comment more as it was too delayed and at the end of the report she gives me things to do like singing with him dancing and going on about making him listen and using simple language witch I do have always done since he was a few weeks old we do play peek a boo and sing nursery rhymes with all the actions. At the end of the report it's starts that's all the can do till his speech and understanding improves but isn't that the point of therapy to help him improve? They are not going to see him again till his speech and language improves. She also said that we need to make him listen more as he only understands things if we prompt him with visual gestures or pictures that he doesn't under much verbal communication. Shouldn't they be putting pecs or something into place to help him gain better understanding it's like they are just writing him of so to speak.
