he's had problems with his speech and eventually saw the speech therapist a few months ago. She's been carrying out assessments these last few months. I eventually met her today and we had a little talk and them she dropped the bombshell that its become apparent that ds 5 has a developmental delay.Well im shocked and upset as i wasn't expecting it. I came not really asking any questions or understanding what this means in terms of his schooling or future.She says he seems to find it hard to process complex instrutions i.e he can count 1-5 but not 5-1 backwards.Ive just come home through the door and its just hit me!!!! What do i need to know or ask her anyone have any advice i mean will this be a long term thing or will it get worse or better.
