ORIGIONAL POST BY JELLITOT

Hi I've just joined mumsnet. I have a child age three this month who still isn't talking. He has possible social communication problems and attention sharing problems eg he won't look out of the window with you if something is going by.
He also tends to play with the toys happily at playgroup but moves away if a large group come near. He does enjoy one to one play though with a carer and makes good eye contact. His only possible compulsion seems to be repetively playing with the same toys.(trains)
He has been assessed by SEN and the I-can centre and has been seen by the speech therapist for the past 9 months with some slight improvement. He has two mornings support and this is being increased to three. He has had about 5 hearing tests, all inconclusive as he wont co operate but he defintely can hear. Does anyone have any ideas of what to do next?

you ahve the benefit of having SALT interaction with your ds already i had a yr and half wait so at least thats in place

just keep on regarding maybe being assessed by multi disciplinery team so you can start looking into getting adequaste one to one at pre school

sorry typos
