Hunter struggling to communicate his needs...

This video was taken when Hunter was just under two years old. He wanted to get up onto the couch (he couldn't do it himself yet) and he wasn't able to find the words to let me know he wanted to get up on the couch. He was able to say "up" in general most times but in this situation he couldn't do it. And he didn't turn around facing the couch making an attempt to make it more obvious what he wanted. And after he saw the dog he had a blank stare (we know these to be sensory related and not seizures). He zones out for a bit. (He isn't looking at the TV you hear in the background). This is an example of a motor planning concern. He was unable to find words to communicate his needs.
