[quote=Anonymous]Our DS is 2.5 and has a significant speech delay. His expressive speech is at the 24 month level, but his receptive language is great. We currently work with a private SLP and are in the process of getting evaluated by Child Find. I am a SAHM. DS goes to preschool two days a week, and we go to play groups and play dates. But, he's not getting the peer interaction that he would if he were in daycare full time. Preschool has helped a lot, so I know the "monkey see, monkey do" aspect is beneficial. I'm not opposed to daycare by any means; that's not why he's currently home with me. But, we're wondering if putting him in full-time daycare would help his speech enough to justify the switch. I'm planning to go back to work full time in the not-so-distant future anyway. Is putting him in full-time daycare as soon as possible the best thing to help with his delay? I don't think the speech therapy has helped his speech any. It's beneficial though in the sense that an SLP is monitoring him and he's getting used to the process of therapy. I think therapy will be more beneficial when he's older. Thoughts? Thank you![/quote]
