[quote=Anonymous]My son didn’t have a ton of words at the age, but was technically meeting milestones and had strong receptive speech. He’s my first and this was peak Covid in 2020, so I didn’t know I really should have gotten him evaluated even though my pediatrician wasn’t concerned. My son had a big explosion of language around 2. He has a great vocabulary. He’s 6 now and doing well, but by the time he was 3-4, it was obvious he wasn’t developing on par with his peers in general. In the end, he has ADHD. He needed OT for fine and gross motor skills, and speech therapy for articulation and pragmatic speech. ADHD medication also helped a lot with all of the above once we were able to start that. Moral of the story is to trust your gut and seek early intervention if you’re concerned. [/quote]
