Stubborn & speech delayed - advice needed

DS turned 2 two weeks ago. He says words but not sentences or speaks as much as other two yr olds or as much as I feel he should be. He is being evaluated for speech services tomorrow and I am hoping he gets them.

Today he started a two yr old nursery program. He stayed the full two hours and didnt ask for me or DH once, however the teacher said that when he was told not to do something (like climb on a chair) he would scream. I notice he screams when he is angry or frustrated and I think it has something to do with his inability to properly communicate. The teacher pretty much told me that we need to work on having him not yell when he is told no. (he doesnt yell all the time when told no at home, just sometimes.)

I guess my question is, 1. How do I get a two year old to stop yelling and having outburts ( ) and 2. Is there anything other than repeating, labeling and speech services I should be doing for him to get him communicating better? TIA

My DS has expressive and receptive delays. He is 3.5 now and started EI for speech a little before 2 when he was evaluated. When he is frustrated he also screams. Not like he used to and has been doing so much better when he gets frustrated.
When he went to daycare he actually was better with teachers telling him no and not as good with me. I neve had issues with any teacher telling me how to work eith him on his frustrations. When your DS starts to see a speech therapist then she will give you good advise. I just calmy tell him to stop what he's doing and to use his words, try distracting him with something he likes, take him out of the situation all together, and get on his level. I find any of those works well with my DS. He's talking a lot more now and we talk about feelings too. I give him choices instead of just asking.. Are you happy or sad? Are you sad b.c you want a toy you can't reach? Etc
Now he goes to the local preschool where he gets speech everyday.

Thank you for replying. I think giving him choices is a good idea. I tend to say why are you screaming? why are you mad? really knowing full well he isnt going to turn around and give me a full answer. Im also hoping that once he gets more used to the teachers and being away from me he will be more receptive to them telling him no. Hes only ever been with me. Thanks again.
