Does anyone have a child who was delayed developmentally but turned out fine?? I need some positive storys.

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.

@HOMEMADECHUTNEY I’m not sure if you are still on this but I’m just wondering how your little guy is now. My little guy is 26months and sounds identical to your lad.he tries very hard to communicate with sounds and reaching but is not pointing yet at all! And has no words. He’s also delayed Bon fine motor so he won’t build blocks or scribble a crayon I say won’t because I’m sure he could do it if he even attempted it it’s like he doesn’t want to. I’m waiting on a call back from early intervention tomorrow and I’m really praying I get him in the program. Can I ask how often he did this early Intervention (if you can remember) and anything extra you did to help him out I’m desperate to get my little guy going. Thanks x

@FinnsMammy - are you still here? How did you get on with your little boy? Xxxx
