He is shy, he mostly likes bigger people who are less loud and have patience. His peer time is mostly either in a therapeutic setting (meaning speech in pre k), a library, or with his family present.  He is making good progress with speech in some areas, we noticed the stutter as it was developing, so I have seen it get worse. He gets tense about words that are hard to say and stutters. If he gets really upset it'll be about that (he's a very sweet little guy, good temperament). He doesn't like people not getting it, or not being able to get the word out.  We are hopeful for improvement, but I am tempering that because of it it's an ongoing struggle for him, or if the struggle is something he remembers and has a hard time with later I want to make sure that I am providing meaningful support to him.
