I have been looking through all the old posts and they have been really helpful but just wondering if anyone is dealing with this now.
A bit of background DS1 started school today. He has been at pre school for a year where he didn't speak at all and nursery where he spoke a little. At home he doesn't stop talking and is a bright boy. In general when we are out he is fairly confident but will clam up if a stranger talks to him. Today he said he enjoyed school but the teacher said he didn't speak. He played and looked happy.
I am not sure what to do. Do I wait and give him some time to settle in or does he need a referral to SALT or SENCO.
Anyway just after bit of support. Its heartbreaking. A few of the children from preschool are in his class and a couple said DS2 can't talk!!!
