Learning disabilities
Some babies do not develop as quickly as their
peers. There may be a readily identifiable reason for this,
such as Down's
Syndrome, but in the majority there is little indication of possible
developmental delay
- these children are just later with all or most of the
usual baby milestones.
But like all children, they are more likely to reach their potential (whatever
that may be) in a loving,
caring environment where their needs are understood and catered for.
It can be hard for parents to attain a balanced lifestyle for such children, one
which stretches them
without pushing them into failure, yet accepts them without unduly limiting
their horizons.
Communication is often the essential factor if they are to develop fully as
people.
A speech and language therapist who has worked
with such people, of all ages, is happy
to share her experience and insights.
