My 5 year old has just started school, and they have done a one to one assessment with him, the teacher is concerned that he doesn't understand the tests she is doing with him, although she feels he hears her and understands her, he cant seem to follow through with her instruction. She feels if you give him an exact instruction for example 'sort the figures into the different colours' then he could do that, however when asked 'can you sort these' he is totally blank. This is just one example.
His behaviour overall is fairly good, with what i would percieve as normal child behaviour. He is struggling learning his alphabet, and does not know his numbers to twenty, infact he struggles to get to ten, always missing out number 7. He struggled with speech, which i feel is still an issue, babbling till about the age of 3 and a half, he knows lots of words, but putting them together in a sentance is a problem for him. I can see him getting frustrated.
Can someone help?
