I think I saw a similar thread to this one....sorry if Im doing repeat.
Im really hesitant to mention this to his mom because I know she'll just blow me off. But Im pretty sure this little guy would benefit from some help.
He's 3.5...January birthday. I don't know if anyone remembers, but he's the one I posted about a while ago who cursed all the time.
-He speaks rarely speaks in complete sentences. Strangers cannot understand his speech...really no one at the center but me can. He's still working with the vocabulary of a 2 year old. If he wants to say, "I want to ride the bike", he says "Wide bike" or "I thbhtthbh wide thththbth bike".
-He does not know what basic things are....like animals, tools, people (policemen, firefighters, etc) that most 3.5 year olds would be able to recognize...despite having being been exposed to them. He's been in care for the past two years.
-He has problems using his hands and fingers...he cant pull his pants up all the way, put on his shoes, has problems manipulating small parts or complicated toys, writing utensils, etc. I gave him half a banana and he couldn't grasp the peel to pull it down.
There are other problems too...if I say "Go hang up your jacket and push in your chair", he may do one, neither or do something like put his coat in the chair or try to hang up the chair on his jacket hook (no joke). His problem-solving skills are lacking...he just sat staring at the banana without trying to peel it for about 5 minutes before he starting calling me to do it.
He's a very social little boy despite his weak verbal skills and just adorable. I don't know if his problems are coming from a real delay or just a lack of interaction at home (which I'm pretty sure is a factor if not the cause).
