what to ask paediatrician?
Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and needed some advice. My son is nearly three and barely says three words.
The speech therapist did a superficial assessment of him and said she thinks he has verbal dyspraxia.
He has (after much pushing) finally been referred to a paediatrician for a proper assessment next month.
What information should I take with me and what questions should I ask? Also is there anything I should request or push the doctor for?
thank you in advance for any advice given.
