"Dysplasia" just means 'maturation abnormality', so I suppose 'immature' is a little abnormal, and therefore could be described as cortical dysplaia. But, I am not a doctor.
DD1 has 'subtle but extensive cortical dysplasia', which means that it is quite hard to see the differences in her brain, but they affect a large portion of her brain. Some children have quite a significant difference in just one spot of the brain, which is called "focal cortical dysplasia".
For DD1 (3¾ years):
-Speech and language delay/disorder - SALT is calling it delay, Paed says it is a bit disordered too (I agree). I would say she has speech of about a 2.6 year old, and she uses a lot of terms that are quite unique, so hard to understand. Like "bowleat" for "something to eat". She finds it hard to understand instructions, and gets confused about word meanings. For e.g. she doesn't like to be called 'beautiful' or 'clever' because she doesn't realise they are nice words.
-Fine motor delay - DD1 can draw a roughly circular shape on a piece of paper, but nothing more than that. Her marks are very faint on the paper. She has quite weak hands and so finds it hard to manipulate things. She can't dress/undress herself without lots of help.
-Gross motor- She has ataxia, so walks and runs oddly and unevenly. She still uses her arms to stabilise herself as she walks fast/runs. She falls and stumbles alot. She started jumping about 2 months ago, but it takes a lot of effort.
-Very low concentration/attention levels. Very active. No sense of danger. Needs wrist strap to keep her safe when out of home.
-Epilepsy (drop attacks/absences)
- Sleep disturbance. Has melatonin to settle at night.
She has 1:1 at preschool & we are hopefully starting statementing soon.
