global development delay toddler

[Mumstheword1987]

Hi all

My child ( aged 2) has been diagnosed with GDD dysmorphic features none verbal feet goes inwards blue hands and feet and possible muscle weakness/condition shes being seen by alot of specialists in all areas I was told to apply for dla for her can I ask is anyone in my situation with a child with GDD

Hi. My daughter is almost three. We have been ‘diagnosed’ with GDD. Whatever that means.

We’ve had genetic tests that have come back clear. Our DD didn’t walk or talk until 2 1/2 years.

She is now walking and learning to run, attempting to jump. Her fine motor skills are progressing. Communication is an issue and we currently have less than 50 words.

I don’t know about DIA but she has just been referred to section 23 which allows the pre school to apply for funding to provide her additional support.

Sick of this waiting game that is ‘we just don’t know’

Sorry not much help but I’m feeling very bewildered also.

We find pre school has really helped her development and her SENCO has recommended state school next year. I just wish someone would explain what it all means as I really don’t know.

Scaryprospects I totally understand how you feel it's really stressful isent it I've been told before my daughter can go into nursery they would need extra special care with her aswell there even talking about sending her to special school for her needs what part of England are you in I'm in west Midlands if you was close maybe we could meet sometime
