DS starts at the school nursery in September. He does not talk a lot and is still very unclear, leading to a lot of frustration, although this is slowly improving. He has had initial assessments with a SALT and did a 6 week group course a while ago. Upshot is he's got an audiology assessment (just to rule hearing problems out, they don't suspect anything along those lines) and a joint paediatrician/SALT observation (I think they will be doing 3 sessions). So not overtly an ASD assessment - I guess he's too young for that anyway as his problems are not really severe - but they just want an overall picture I think as he is definitely below where he should be.
I am worried with how he will do at nursery - I know the school and they are very caring with loads of staff doing one-to-one, nurture groups etc, it is amazing but DD did not go to that nursery so I don't know it yet. I just wondered if there is anything particular I should be discussing with the staff there? He has a short stay and play session next week so I guess that will be a good chance for them to see how he is. They do home visits just before term starts but I don't want to leave the questions til then! Or should I just wait and see what they say?
The other thing I'm wondering about is, what happens if they are concerned about him? Would they involve an EP or is he too young? And how would it all fit in with what we are already doing with the hospital?
I am totally new to all this, so would really appreciate any advice!
