Behavioral problems with ~3 year old

[Anonymous]

It sounds like your child has serious receptive language issues. This could mean a language disorder, ASD or a more serious issue, but it is unlikely to be benign. Get help with speech, serious help.

1. get a speech eval immediately. It is time for intense speech help. This is urgent. Some windows close.
2. get OT eval and get help with regulatory skills.
3. see a dev ped and get physical causes ruled out. evaluate diet, etc.
4. get behavorial support. It does not need to be autism to need or get this.
5. get parenting help. You can't use normal parenting techniques in this scenario. You may also need sibling help. Get it. It is essential for quality of life.


If there are serious issues, later there are many many more interventions you can and should do. But this whole, labels are needless shtick is ridiclous and counterproductive and preventing you from acting like a responsible adult here.

Finally, post in special needs. Your three year old is almost non verbal. He has special needs. Denial is getting you nowhere, Fast,

BTW - the above is meant to indicate private, supplemental from county services speech and OT. Those are often simply nowhere near sufficient.

We are starting private therapy next week. We should have earlier, but until recently I thought they all followed the "parent coaching" model that county does until the kids are older.

What do you mean by "behavioral support"? What do I look for? Is that something that health insurance covers, like speech and occupational therapy, or is that all out-of-pocket?
