Seren had a developmental check last week, and we had the results back a few days ago. It shows that her social skills were fine, but her fine motor skills, and speech, are very delayed.
The waiting lists are extremely long here too, so i've booked her in privately for a hearing test which is today so we'll see how things go from there.
Thanks so much for your lovely replies. It's quite reassuring that other toddlers dont talk much until they're about 2 years old!
My nephew is now 5 and was a premmie baby born at 33 weeks. He started school this year and we can only say now that his speech is actually improving. Not that he ever had a problem with getting the words out! He talks non stop!! It was just impossible to understand a word he said.
He is a bright and beautiful boy and the doctors said he'd be about 6 months behind. Considering that he is now 5 going on 6, this was a bit of an understatement, but he was only taken to a speech pathologist about a year ago, so sooner would have been better. He loves school and is doing great.
