My lovely little boy is nearly 3 and a half. He has been struggling with his talking so finally, after months and months of asking, I had an appointment today with the speech and language therapist.
What she said has absolutely broken my heart
He has serious issues acquiring language, he is struggling to cope with simple commands. She was playing with him but assessing him and within 40 minutes he was rubbing his little eyes because he was trying so so hard to get things right but said things like 'blocksing' instead of building and 'juciening' when she showed him someone pouring juice.
When we left i just broke down, she said that he needs really simple language and that we have been over complicating things which is why he can't pick things up, that he needs extra classes and sessions. I've been working loads over the summer, to pay for our fire place to be fixed and to try and support us. Now i have taken on uni and trying to work as wel. My little boy is suffering, i've not spent enough time with him and now he cannot even learn to talk :(
I am so so upset.
