Struggling with my 2 year old

Staceypinks

Hello, 

I have a 2 year old daughter who is currently under a speech and language therapist and we are waiting on a pediatrician appointment. She has alway been late at crawling and walking but she wont speak. She makes sounds but no words.  She is such a happy little girl but communicating is a struggle. I have not attempted potty training and meal times are hard as she does not like cutlery and will only use her hands. I have asked for help and advice from local health care professionals but we dont seem to be getting anywhere, she shows every symtom and sign of autism but i know it cam take a long time to get a diagnosis. Any help or advice on speech and communication would be appreciated.

Thank you

Parents

  • Oh wow! My 2 year old daughter is EXACTLY like this! Except that she is diagnosed with Autism, we both are. You’re lucky that she’s already under a Speech and Language Therapist, they won’t give any input until they’re 3 in this area! Although I did manage to persuade them to come out and teach us Picture Exchange Communication System a couple of days ago. What are SALT currently suggesting to help her with her communication?
