Sammy has been going to the Day Treatment Center for about 3 weeks now. He is used to this place because it is where he has had therapy since he was a year old. husband and I have had certain concerns which we have brought up to many different medical prof. many a time but now the therapists are really seeing them since they are spending 18 hours a week with Sammy. His comprehension levels are way off. He is not understanding much of what he should at this age. They are going to test him in 2 or 3 months again but they are saying which we agree with, that he probably has the comprehension level of a 2 year old. I have no idea what you do for this and if it will improve and how. Which leads to his language skills. He definitely is better off than some. He can speak in small sentences he has many words however, it is not improving. It seems to have stagnated for some time. He does not have conversational language at all really. Part of that is that he cannot comprehend enough to converse. husband discussed with the therapist that he is concerned for the future like kindergarten or first grade, how is he going to retain information and have the ability to learn and the therapist agrees that we are getting to the point of seriousness to that concern. I guess I should also point out that there are no long term effects with discipline. For instance: Sammy doesnt listen, give 1 warning, still doesnt listen, take whatever it is away he is upset for that moment has no reccolection of that happening again or even any knowledge of what he did. Most 3 year olds, you can say, We didnt do A because you did not listen to Mommy and Daddys words. Or you can say to them do you know why we didnt do A and they can answer yes because....
There is some concern of what information he retains and what he doesnt if that makes any sense. Ok, I am done. I am just very concerned and dont really know if there are any answers out there!
