Hi, my 5 year old daughter has always had speech problems. Even now her speech is quite hard to understand especially if people don't know her. Sometimes even I can't grasp what she's saying. She also has a problem with toilet training, she manages to stay dry at school, but at home she wets and messes herself frequently. We had a 4 day assesment with her at a hospital unit and they summed it up by saying she has a mild global developmental delay. So basically she's like a 3 year old mentally.
This did come as a bit of a surprise.
I was wondering what her chances would be of catching up with her class mates?
Does anyone have a child who was like this but turned out fine academically? I'd really like to hear some positive storys as everything so far has been so negative.
