So my 16 mo is on a wait list to receive speech and occupational therapy. They believe he may have Sensory Processing Disorder so I will speak with the doctor to see.what he thinks. He passes in the white for all areas of ASQ except black for communication. What has me most worried is his lack or receptive language. A little about lo:
-He does not follow commands like sit down or bring Mom a book, etc. He claps if we say clap or sing a clapping song. He gives but only if I put my hand out.
-He does not understand words. He looks fir the dog if we ask where is the puppy. Other than that he does not look at an object or person if you ask, nit even Mom or Dad.
-No words.
-No mimicking sounds. He has copied animals sounds before but nothing consistant at all.
-Lack of gestures. He reaches, gives, shows, claps, will bring me something if he needs help. He points out of interest but does not use eye contact and notbto request. He sometimes waves back but does not inititiate it. He hugs and kisses but doea not blow kisses. He does not use sign language even though I have been using it lots with him.
Anyone have lo like this eventually catch up? I am worried he may never understand us or talk.
