Hi my new here. So hi guys. Im looking advice and help

Our little girl doesn't socialize at all with her peers she will play along side them.She just pull herself away from the group of children at nursery. Even when she had playdate with another child at home very similar situation. Eating refused to use cultery. Rather uses her hands. She can use cutlery as we have seen her on few occasion. Everything is sensory toys ie to her mouth. When she plays with toys she is always emptying and filling with the toys. Ie playdough and cutter. Not using correctly way  back and forward. No words of yet. Very limted mom and dad. Has good eye contact. Good understanding of rountie etc.plays well with adults she knows. Im waiting for appointment with paediatrics. Nursery have being great. Nursery is looking at sensory processing disorder. Can we do more at home advice opinions would be great.thanks again

    Hi there, my youngest daughter is 2 and very similar in many ways, especially insisting on eating with her hands despite physically being able to. She’s not talking yet either, her eye contact used to be good but it’s got really bad now. She does parallel play but doesn’t play with her piers. There’s loads more with her but I’m keeping it brief. Luckily she’s been in the system for over a year and had both physio and OT input, though the scope of nhs help tends to be limited, they’re not always so good with the sensory stuff. If paediatrics think there is a significant developmental delay then the paediatrician should do a section 23 referral to the local authority which would entitle her to SEND support at Nursery. Again if the paediatrician thinks there is cause for concern you might also be able to get 15 hours free nursery hours for 2 year olds; DLA and carers allowance. I’m not sure that I’m exactly answering your question but I’m passing on some information that I’ve learned along the way.
