Keep in contact with services

I suggest you keep in touch with the services you are waiting for. Make contact with them regularly and inquire as to when your son might be seen, stressing the importance of him being seen as he starts school. The private speech therapist might be able to see your son soonest and they should be able to help with assessing his needs as he starts school.

Finally, do seek your own support as a parent. Parenting a child with additional needs can bring extra stresses. Take time to understand what you need to manage and take steps to build this into your day as well.
