[QUOTE="Southern Girl, post: 202921, member: 6092"] Hello everyone! I am so glad to have found this site. My son will be 4 next month. He has a speech delay and currently works with the school speech therapist once a week. He also attends a preschool through the school district. I'm concerned with some of his behaviors, so the therapist is going to set up a meeting with the school diagnostician and psychologist. I hope this is the right step, please share suggestions if not. The therapist asked that I take with his teachers to find out more information about my son in the school setting. I received an email from one of his teachers and I must say these were not a surprise and makes me more concerned. Here are some things from an email I received: [I][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000000]He seems to have a difficult time navigating social situations. He spends a lot of time playing by himself. He plays beside but not with the other boys. He does talk to the other boys but conversation does not ensue.It seems he makes statements such as "you did the well", "look, look", "see, it's moving". There seems to be lacking the natural ease of communication that older threes display. He seems to talk to people but not with them. I'm sorry I can't be more specific.
