Global Developmental Delay Help please ?

[TUTS1]

Hiya
My story is my son who is 4.8 years old in reception has been having great difficulty with his speech and understanding. ( Has been assessed at 2 years ) . At nursery everyone thought it would come it just didnt . He then went on to have special nursery time lessons with speech therapists in a small group of under 5 people with at least 3 therapists per lesson he did this for a long time 3 days a week with very little success . He is now at school with some but not great improvement . I am in the process of getting him statemented and was warned learning difficulty would be the outcome . He also has fine motor skill problems ( Aged 3 years ) and his concentration is not great either . On the other hand he is v sociable plays well with other children and fits in in class The Paediatrician has come back with GDD ? I have read up what it means and quite honestly it doesnt really seem to mean a lot ?
Is this just something you get given before the learning disability or autism is assessed ? Or do some people have this and do they get over it ? I havent heard of anyone who has never talked . Lots who were delayed ? Im very confused and really im worried about what the future holds for my son I guess I want answers . Im sure noone can give me that but any exsperience anyone has had I would be v interested to hear about it .

Hi @duckduckswan thank you for the update, I come across some old thread with similar situations like my dd and always wonder how they are now in terms of progress.
My dad is 14m and she is just happy to be sat literally do nothing, she doesn’t pay much interest in toys, only about 2-3m the most. She lives jumping on the jumperoo. She isn’t crawling or showing any interest in crawling... she’s able to bare weight when I hold her. Everything was very delayed, rolling over at 10m, sitting properly at 14m. Started grabbing objects at 10m. Very slow progress and I’ve been told by the paediatric she has gdd. I’m guessing she’s too young to diagnose with anything else.
She doesn’t wave or clap, but enjoys me singing and clapping, doesn’t say a word. It’s very difficult not knowing what the cause is

My daughter is 12 and this was the diagnosis until she was in year 4 and had a educational psychology assessment- she was then diagnosed with a learning disability mild to moderate.

@jukester how was your daughter as a baby/toddler? When did she start crawling walking? (If you don’t mind answering). My daughter is showing no signs of progress ... seems like as she’s getting bigger the delayed development is showing more
