My DS who is 2 is on the communication pathway. I understand this is a long process & it may be some time until we get a diagnosis. I don’t know if this is the right terminology but currently he doesn’t appear to be an extreme case, not rigid, will communicate using gestures/noises ( not speech) when he wants something, will sit & play with me if I initiate it.
I’m worried I might be missing an early intervention option while we wait for a diagnosis. Should I just get going and if so how? We have a SALT and are beginning to look at PECS. I think she is also using floortime techniques. I’ve bought a copy of ‘Time to Talk’ but find it a bit overwhelming at times. Also have portage team involved.
I currently work part time & DS happy at nursery but should I give up work? The nursery is good and have involved their inclusion team. A lot of the therapies recommend more than 30 hours per week which I cannot sustain and then, if there is no diagnosis will I have wasted my time or, even worse, done some damage?
I just have this feeling I need to step it up a bit & was wondering if anyone else who’d been in this position had done/ not done & if they were glad or had regrets.
