Just to update

Ok speech therapy went well. Josh's expressive speech has come on well but his receptive speech isn't so good. He was a major fidget and nearly fell off the chair repeatedly. He was difficult to engage in the activites. We ended up giving him having his oral chew toy thingy to try and calm and focus him. I told her how dangerous he can be and she agree that his understanding is very delayed.

He then said he was tired and wanted to go home. He went all floppy and led on the floor.

Then he got up for a cuddle and announced he wanted to go home and wanted daddy. I told him daddy wasn't here repeatedly but he clearly didn't believe me. Then as if to prove my point he tried to head head first out of her open window and had to be dragged back in.

She is going to speak to the school and be very strict with how they teach him. He needs to be taught in small groups or one to one. They will have work they have to do with him and she thinks they should get extra funding.

We popped in to see his OT because she asked us to come by after our appointment and he was still being very highly strung. I mentioned the fidgeting and she's gonna get him a squiggy seat pad to see if that help him focus.

I think the OT and Speech Therapist will be very helpful in getting him the help he needs at school.
