[QUOTE="confusedmummy, post: 243344, member: 6749"] Well just to update you, we went to see the GP today and right on cue my little man performed his usual behaviour of refusing to look or talk to anyone he doesn't know. He them went behind my chair and laid down on the floor to hide! Then at the end cheerfully waved and said thank you & Goodbye as though nothing had happened??!! Anyway, GP has referred him to the childrens development centre at the hospital and we await an appointment etc. I then had a meeting with the SENCO lady at his playschool who said his developmental side was coming on exactly as they would expect for a child of his age except for not interacting with the other kids. They are going to work with him and try and help the areas he is struggling with. The best bit though was when they said they would take him up to the new school for half an hour at a time (when the time comes) so I can step out of it. I was soooo relieved. Will be very interested to see how he is with them as opposed to when he is with me. He is quite a physical chap, likes to push and play fight etc but the lady was saying that because his verbal skills are behind he may be using these physical actions as a substitute for talking and trying to communicate/play with the kids. She seemed quite optimistic that with help, teaching and patience that he may overcome this.....we'll see in time I guess. Many thanks for all your help and support, means alot to me and I'll let you know when we get the appointment through. [/QUOTE]
