What to expect on first appointment?

My son has his first ever actual appointment for Speech Therapy and Occupational therapy. He doesn't eat or talk and is constantly wanting milk, and pediasure at night because he doesn't eat. What can I expect to happen on the first appointment and what questions should I ask?

My baby boy constantly enats my boob by not getting enough milk from it He won't eat his food much and he doesn't speak much I'm just waiting at the moment to see changes

For the first appointment, they’ll likely do an evaluation to get a full picture of your son’s needs. The speech therapist will assess his communication skills, while the occupational therapist will look at things like feeding and daily activities. They’ll probably ask you about his development so far, like when he started certain milestones, and will want details about his eating and how he communicates now. After the evaluation, they’ll discuss goals and how they plan to help him with both speech and feeding. You can ask them what steps you can take at home, what techniques they’ll use in therapy, and how to encourage him to eat better and talk more. It’s also good to ask about how they’ll track his progress and if they recommend any other support, like a dietitian. They should give you a clear idea of what to expect moving forward

@Naila we already had the evaluation last month. And now we have the first true appointment tomorrow. Will definitely write those down and ask tomorrow. Thank you 🙏
