You know your child best. You may wish to seek advice if your child:

​

• is difficult for others to understand

• leaves out sounds or uses shorter words/sentences than expected

• finds it hard to understand instructions or answer questions

• has difficulty with reading, writing, or classroom instructions

• struggles to join play, conversations, or take turns

• is picky with foods or has a very limited diet

• struggles to chew or swallow safely

• seems frustrated, withdrawn, or avoids communication

• teachers or educators have shared concerns

​

Sometimes families also reach out just for reassurance - this is always welcome.

​

Early support can make a big difference, and you don’t need a diagnosis to get started.
