Hi all I am seeking some advise/support.
My DS is 2.8 and has and speech and language delay. We are not sure of the cause yet (he has had hearing loss from birth due to glue ear but has grommets in the last 8 weeks but this could be a red herring) we are seeing a development pead and being reviewed every 6 months.
My main concern is his receptive language as I know you must understand first in order to talk. He follows instructions in nursery rhymes (I add new ones in or mix them around to make sure his not doing it from memory) but he doesn’t understand things like where is mummy or get me the ball. Any ideas on how I can help him whilst we wait for a speech therapist. At the moment I am commenting on all the stuff he is doing using one word labels.
Has anyone had experience with speech and language delay can offer me some encouragement as not knowing what the future holds for my son is really upsetting.
