Ds is 3 and has a speech delay. We had a course of speech therapy play sessions where the therapists basically just accused us all of not playing enough with our kids and implied we are all just parking them in front of the iPad all day.
We attended every week and I've tried the techniques they suggested. He's progressing but no more than before. It seems to me that they are adopting a 'one size fits all' approach to the classes and that actually there must be multiple reasons for a speech delay.
Has anyone else found this and what did they do? I can't afford private therapy right now.

Has anyone else found speech therapy a bit rubbish and patronising?
