[quote=Anonymous]Getting hearing tested is never a bad thing and is a good jumping-off point. If he gets a lot of ear infections, he might have persistent fluid on the ears which can impact his hearing. If his hearing is normal, you can request an evaluation from the public schools and if he’s found to have a delay, he’ll get an IEP and services which might include speech therapy, a therapist visiting him at school or day care to work with him, or possible classroom placement into a special education preschool program (though if he’s already 4, especially if turning 5 soon, there might not be time for a classroom placement this school year). You can also pursue private therapy with a private speech therapist, which your insurance may or may not cover. [/quote]
