Please get a Speech-Language Pathologist working with you when all this calms down if you're concerned about your child's communication development! Find one here:

Whenever you believe a child has atypical sensory needs, it's a good idea to find a qualified Occupational Therapist who's a specialist in sensory integration (not all of them are!) A professional can definitely help you understand your child's needs better and work with you to figure out how to meet those needs in more appropriate ways.
