Hi ladies, advice needed. My son had a speech delay , last Christmas he barely spoke only signalled. After a few months of speech therapy he came on leaps and bounds and can now say 4-5 word sentences. He has now been discharged. He has joined nursery and loves it however he is unable to understand me if I ask him about things (like his time at nursery) . He sometimes becomes agitated and covers my mouth if I pursue conversation. He can understand instructions like "get your shoes" but has no real interactive conversation. If he wants something he is the most persistent child and be relentless until her gets it. I am concerned as is the nursery staff as he has to go to school next August and his application need to be in January 2014. How can he go to school when he doesn't understand adult conversation? I have asked the speech therapy department to assess him again but this may have a long wait. What do you think?
