My daughter (3y7m) was diagnosed a year ago with glue ear and hearing loss. 3 months after that she went back and only had glue ear in one ear so they said they would leave it as it will probably sort itself out and her hearing is fine.
I’ve been worried about her speech for a while and Her nursery key worker expressed concerns about her because her lack of communication is affection her relationships with other children because they can’t understand her. She does have friends though, she is social and plays well and is affectionate with her older brother.
Today she finally had an assessment with a speech therapist and she said she has a problem with her language, rather than her speech. She can’t answer questions like ‘why, how, what happens next?’
I don’t really know much about this. I just wanted to come here for some support if anybody else has a similar story... I’m not worried about if she has autism or other special needs and what that would mean and if this is going to affect her long term. Obviously we all want our children to be happy and not to have difficulties to deal with.
