Hi i’m posting on here for traffic as i’m racking my brain worrying and overthinking. I have a 3.5 yo ds who i have posted about before. Long story short he had some social communication difficulties aswell as a speech delay. His receptive language was not age level and tbh i thought he may have a disorder rather than a delay.
Having anxiety already meant i didn’t know if my worries about his development were rational as he’s always been a sweet loving boy with a sense of humour. Fast forward to now he’s flourished into a social and active kid but still is nowhere where he should be with speech. He says one word sentences and a few 2 word/ word sentences he frequently uses e.g open the door.
He does get all his needs met by telling me what he wants, hasn’t really started saying “i’m hungry” but will ask for what he’s feeling like at the time. He also asks to play on his trampoline, again one word sentences, eye contact and pointing is what i’m working with.
I was able to get him some private therapy and stopped because of covid-19 in march before things got serious in uk but after contracting viral bronchitis myself and my whole family were horrible ill for months i took it upon myself to self isolate meaning his therapist couldn’t come.
My problem is now, i’m worried he’s not making as much progress as he could at nursery or therapy. I’m aware that his speech delay is quite severe and will probably be able to go to nursery and have appointments but i’m not comfortable with him stepping foot outside with everything that’s going on. AIBU? Its sad because he really had the potential to flourish this summer if i could take him places and show him things, he’s stuck indoors most of the time.
