Thats just about it really.

He doesn't babble or speak. Struggles with basic commands. Hearing test perfect and on waitlist for speech therapy!

In a bit of a rut and looking for help with games! He is very active and rarely sits still! Hoping for a bit more one 2 one interaction during play but he is very independent!

Right this was my dc so I know what this is like. Sending you Flowers

The best resource we had was the Hanen speech book air takes two to talk which was amazin - lots of ideas for little activities in there, you can buy it cheapest from the wilmslos press. It is always much more on amazon

It takes two to talk it is called. It goes through each stage of speech development in turn and starts at non verbal

My 2yo certainly has speech issues, though he isn't non-verbal. Waiting for speech and language therapy.

Thanks all Flowers once hes down for the night i will look at the websites and books and we have bubbles/footballs and balloons so thats all things we can work on.

I set up water play this morning with cups and jugs and he thought me blowing bubbles into a cup of water with a straw was fascinating! Anything to keep his focus on us is appreciated!
