Following our suspicions and advice of friends and day care minders, we took our child to the GP. He is a happy and playful 2.5 yr old boy and looks normal but does not speak too much, walks on his toes quite a lot, not very good with social interactions and has different behaviour.
The GP referred the case to the Children's centre and I am waiting for an appointment. They said it can take upto 22 weeks!
I gave them a follow up call and was told that NHS guidelines requires every case to be seen within 12 weeks so they are looking to schedule a meeting by mid-may with a speech therapist.
What was the procedure for others in this forum to get a diagnosis? Did you get a diagnosis soon? Will a speech therapist be able to diagnose the child? How long did you have to wait?
