My DS (2.1yrs) has just had his 2 year review and been referred to SALT as he isnt really speaking much.
One of the bigger concerns is around his understanding and receptive language, as he very rarely follows simple instructions (he does occasionally if it suits him (eg bring mummy the dinosaur), won't point to thing's in books (although does point to share or request things), will often just look away/through you if he doesn't want to engage. He is very confusing, as he will do all of these things as and when it suits him, although more often than not he ignores you. So I really have no idea how much he's understanding.
The HV is going to visit us again in a few weeks as she's considering a referral to a paediatrician for the understanding/receptive language delays.
Is anyone able to tell me what can cause issues like this? Or how I can help his understanding? It can be really difficult to get his attention and I'm at a loss of how to support him, so any advice would be gratefully received
Thanks
