Just wondering--DD is now 19 months and has GDD. She has no speech and no gestures, although I think she's just beginning to notice the Makaton sign for 'hello' in that she randomly waves at people.
My gut feeling is that her speech is delayed not only because she has moderate hearing loss (due to glue ear) but also because she isn't sure what speech is actually for...and I think she has similar problems with food, as in, she doesn't eat it.
I know I could ask our lovely portage worker or one of our less lovely doctors, but we don't have any appointments coming up for a couple of weeks, and I'm curious.

When does 'develpomental delay' become 'learning difficulties'?
