DS2 (2.9) had his first CDC appt today. The paed seemed quite sure that his only problem is his speech delay. She felt that cognitively he's probably ahead of his age and that his understanding is good. But his speech is significantly behind and the gap between him and his peers is still growing.
I'm coming to the realisation that this probably isn't going to be sorted out quickly (or possibly ever). So that leaves me starting to wonder about the future and what support he might need.
We're about to move house and he'll be starting a new nursery. I'm wondering about broaching the subject of an EHCP for him (he already has an IEP at his current nursery). Is that something I could get for 'just' speech? And should I be looking at some sort of speech unit for next September?
I'm a bit lost tbh. I just want to do the best I can to help and support him but I'm not actually sure what to do. Any ideas?
