So our DD (2,9) was seen at London children's practice today and was diagnosed as either verbally dyspraxic or having expressive language and speech disorder.
So she is not lazy or stubborn, like our paed has been saying for almost a year now, she will not outgrow it, and I am not imagining things. Despite knowing in my heart that she has some speech disorder and knowing that it's most likely to be dyspraxia, I am gutted and can't stop crying when I think about it.
Please come and talk to me about it, do any of you have kids with dyspraxia or expressive language disorder? Which one has better prognosis long term? I am googling, and googling, and googling some more, but I want to talk to real people. Please help me.
