Hi all, I haven't posted here before but hoping someone here might have some advice!
I'm pretty sure my lo has a global delay. No one has said it yet but as far as I can tell she is delayed in every area (not all to the same degree though). She sat up at 6/7 months but I don't think she's met a single milestone since. At 15 months she still doesn't weight bear. She only started babbling just after she turned 1 and still doesn't make any attempt to copy speech sounds. She doesn't seem to understand age appropriate toys eg. doesn't press buttons, doesn't stack, doesn't put things in.
She doesn't seem to have any issues on a social/emotional level. She's smiley, engaging, has a great sense of humour, loves being around other kids of all ages.
We were initially referred to a paediatrician when she was 8 months because of the lack of weight bearing, we've seen the paediatrician twice and she's focusing on the weight bearing but, considering her other delays, I think she needs to be looking at the whole picture.
Does anyone have any advice about what testing your children received and when? I want to know what to expect and ask for at our next appointment without being unreasonable!
Sorry for the long post, thanks in advance ☺
