[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently doing therapies. In regular PS and special ed PS 1/2 day. DS is verbal can comment/request answer yes/no, choices and other concrete questions but doesn’t  have conversations. Doesn’t tell me what he did in the day. Has trouble answering “what did you do today?” It’s hit or miss and usually just “I went to school”. No elaboration. Even when I ask differently. It seems social pragmátics part is what’s missing. He makes jokes, gets my jokes when I say something like that’s a pig! When pointing at a monkey for example and corrects me “nooo that’s a pig!”

Preschool says he follows directions fine but wanders off at circle time and does better when sitting on teachers lap or is right there to listen. That he is social imitates friends and plays with others well. I see the same at home. Special ed school says he doesn’t follow 1 step directions or imitate peers.  It sure why the discrepancy. We all agree he has trouble answering more abstract or past event questions and he isn’t conversational. I’ve seen a lot of progress from age 3 but I would have thought conversations would already be happening.

Anyone BTDT? Does it get better?[/quote]

Have you had your child's receptive language tested? That is key.

My child had a severe receptive language disorder. He could not even do as much as your son at that age.[/quote]

How is he now? What helped?[/quote]
