My 2yr1month old boy is only babbling and has very few gestures. He will point to something when I give him a choice but will not shake his head for no (or say it) or nod for yes (or say it). I got him referred for S&L at 17months but he was seen for the first time this month at 2yr1month and the therapist gave me advice that in my opinion is too advanced for him.
He can follow instructions like bring me the ball or go get your drink or sit down to get your shoes on etc so his understanding is very good. I can say bring me the cow/sheep/pig etc annd he does all that but he isn’t great with copying and generally only uses the sounds be, me, gaga, gagy, gee and occasionally says mummy. He will clap if I clap and give a high five if I ask.
I’m kind of at a loss for what to do as S&L say it will be a 6month wait minimum for his first actual therapy session.
Has anyone been in a similar situation with their son? Is there another form of learning/teaching I can try while waiting for therapy?
