[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 299669, member: 1991"] She could be falling over a lot because she's a new walker. But her being a new walker needs to be investigated. And if she's been walking for 3 months, she should be a bit better at it by now. I agree about not waiting for therapy - maybe the mum is waiting to find out if it's something else. But the reason for the language delay etc isn't important. Whatever the reason for language delay, it's important to begin working on teaching her communication. We worked on difficult child 3 even though we didn't have a clue what was wrong (if anything). And by the time he had a diagnosis, we were already a fair way along the right path to helping him. Sounds to me like bio-mum is stalling, as an excuse to not bother doing anything because it's too much trouble for her. She had better be careful - I said before, we had DOCS called on us, purely on the suspicion that we weren't doing enough to help him with early intervention, even though he didn't have a diagnosis. If I had not immediately got involved heavily in getting help, intervention and diagnosis, we could have had him taken from us. As it was, we got investigated and thoroughly questioned. I would suggest getting Little Cherub referred to Brisbane Hospital, paeds department. It could require a public hospital multidiscplinary team to sort this one out. And it could have implications for siblings, too, if there is something familial and undiagnosed happening here. Marg [/QUOTE]
