My son has been seeing a SALT for 4 months and she recently raised that she thinks he may have DLD, but has recommended we see someone who specialises to be sure.
My son is 4 years old and certainly has a delay but I don't know anyone whose child has the same speech issues as my son, so looking for others with experience and advise on how I can support him.
I think he's understanding is there, though it can be patchy but when he tries to tell us about his day, his words are muddled up and a lot of the time he makes no sense, for example "I not go watch spiderman, tomorrow" what he's trying to say is that he's not going to watch spiderman today. But, we notice this more when he's tired. If he's had a good night sleep his use of language is far clearer and he's able to retell a story. Its very basic but it's understandable.
We have managed to find SALT who will reassess him, but any mums out there who have similar experiences where their little one had that light bulb moment and it all clicked into place, or mums with little ones with DLD?
Thank you all xxxx
