I have two out of three kids, with communication delays, developmentally delayed. Once, into the early intervention programs through the school system, I'd highly recommend, getting in touch with the special needs parent advisory committee. Yes, difficult, to understand, which makes your concern about expressing needs, valid. It gets easier, connecting with other parents, like yourself. .one of my kids, sees a neurologist, and has made tremendous strides, speaking in the past five years. The other son, will start an evaluation at an outside speech and language center, this coming week. The speech pathologist mentioned apraxia, which will need an official dx, if that's, the case. I email weekly, the special needs liason, to inform of what he did, over the weekend, to help with his education. As parents, we are their biggest advocates.
If socially, withdrawn, in class setting will be helpful. My middle, is fully integrated, my youngest bordered by an hour or so, of not being fully integrated. Each makes friends, but the lack of intelligibility of my youngest, is a struggle, for everyone involved, including specialists.
I will say, don't be hard on yourself, you didn't cause this.
