DS has a diagnosis of GDD and SPD. had a recent SALT review and they have said:

"DS very sweet and interactive
DS played with animals first. He named them and put them in their groups.
DS quickly moved on to the pretend food where he demonstrated some pretend play.
DS quickly changed to skittles. He became very excited with this and very loud and high pitched.
Mum reports listening and attention is a real concern for her. He appears to struggle answering questions.

Speech sound delay. Work on his speech sounds can't happen until his joint attention skills develop."

She has set recommendations of sound bags and the Autism bucket activity.

To me he is a very energetic little boy but should I be looking at whether this is more?

I was just wondering as you can do the mchat until 30 months. But that's obviously not applicable
