Latest speech assessment at age 2 years, 11 months

Here are the results of my latest speech assessment:
1) Auditory comprehension: above average (90th percentile for my age group)
2) Expressive communication: below average (23rd percentile for my age group)

I'm able to understand pronouns, understand negatives in sentences, make inferences, understand picture analogies and understand 'more' and 'most'. Expressively, I am able to name a variety of pictured objects, use plurals, and use quantity concepts. I have difficulties answering 'what' and 'where' questions, using the -ing verb and telling how an object is used. My speech intelligibility is about 50% in connected speech to an unfamiliar listener compared to peers at 70%. I use mostly 1 - 2 words to communicate. They suggest to focus on semantics, sentence length, complexity and phonology. I'm interested in books and attend to a story. I know my shapes and some colors. Can scribble with a crayon/pencil and can count to 5. Play well with other children. Able to run, kick, jump and manipulate small objects with my hands. Enjoy playing with peers but sometimes get aggressive. I have a temper at times. Hearing and vision are fine. I follow simple instructions and help around the house by picking up toys. I assist with dressing and eat with spoon and fork.

I will start classes at the school district twice a week.
