My ds who is 3 next week has possibly got some kind of language disorder. This seems to be the sum amount of diagnosis I can get at the moment. He has started to attend a specialist school (which we fund ourselves - very expensive) and we are now considering starting on the SEN route to get funding. He has just started following simple instructions and has a large single word volcabulary but has only just started with simple sentences. He is not (apparently) on the autistic spectrum as his behaviour is pretty much normal and he reached all the correct physical milestones. He had hearing loss as a result of glue ear between approx 7/8months and 18months when we finally got grommets inserted. We have been hoping ever since that it was simply the loss of hearing and that he would 'catch up' but are now told that it may be more fundemental and a 'language disorder'. He babbles alot now interspersed with words and is obviously very very keen to talk. He pratices for ages at night but often seems to say things that just pop into his head (so now I am worrying about that disorder where they cant help saying everything that occurs to them). His dictation when he says a word is very clear but he does seem to struggle with concepts such as 'his name' and 'colours' although he now seems to get 'big' and 'little'. Does this sound at all similar to anyone??????
