i have a 2yearold grandson and he's not speaking words, but he does communicate in his own way, he's very bright, knows which block goes in which space, if asked to show you something, he can, he's read to all the time and when asked where is the cow,pig or sheep or anything else he has been taught, he's alright most of the time. he's an only child, but goes to a play group once a week and does a lot of things, color, fingerpaint, glue objects on projects. some one told my daughter she should put him in a special ed class because of his not talking. she tried it and was very against the program, concerned that he would imitate some of the bad behaviors from the other children. my husband and i went and spent the day with him. there were only two other kids in the room, one 4 and the other 5. these were children with learning difficulties and the class was very structured. for kids with adhd i can understand needing the structure. but, my grandson has none of this.
