REFERRAL INFORMATION
Referral source:
Parents
Reasons for referral:
Referral made at 21-22 months of age due to limited speech development. T had acquired a limited bank of words to draw upon, which differed from the development of his sister O, who was also classified as a ‘late talker’. T mainly relied on non-verbal communication strategies (pointing, facial expressions, grunting) to communicate. Family members (especially grandparents) found T difficult to understand, which was very frustrating for him. The referral was made after consultation with the speech pathologist working with T’s sibling, O.
Relevant background:
At 4 years and 4 months of age, A describes T as a happy, outgoing, extremely creative young boy who enjoys problem solving tasks and physical activity. He enjoys playing with crafts, rock painting and listening to stories. T lives at home with his biological mother An and her partner A (kindergarten teacher), with his 6 year old sister O who is currently in grade one at school. T currently attends 4 year old kinder and English is the only language spoken at home.
