Hi, my son is almost 3.5 yo. He was diagnosed with speech delay 6 moths ago, so far he finished 6 weeks Intervention program and 6 weeks of speech therapy. He's doing great, now he has around 100 words and likes to sing songs. He has troubles expressing his emotions and wishes, and does not play with kids in preschool. He's great with fine and gross motor skills, really good climber, knows all letters, counting till 100, likes to write numbers and letters, has good eye contact. He's on the waiting list for occupational therapy (sometimes he throws toys and he runs, falls down on the floor, but not too hard) and psychological assessment for another 12 months. Should I wait for the assessment or there is signs to worry and it could be more than just speech delay? Should I encourage his interest in numbers and letters or try to remove all the toys with numbers and letters?
Thank you for any advise!
