I am mum to 6 year old twins, Amy and Sammy. Sammy has Global Developmental Delay, Macrocephaly and severe complex learning difficulties. He has only been walking independently for eleven months, and still has to have all his food puréed as he can't eat solids yet.He understands Makaton, but doesn't sign himself yet. He is still in nappies, and can't talk properly yet, but none of this stops or upsets Sammy, he is the happiest little boy I know, he just loves life, and has a lovely twin sister by his side, who adores him !

Hi @SammyAmyVikki:
Thanks for your post and welcome to the Online Community!
Your son sounds like an amazing little boy.
You'll find great discussions amongst our Parents and Carers.
Was there something specific that you'd hope to share, learn or get from the Community? -
Hi @SammyAmyVikki welcome to the community! I read a lovely blog about Makaton recently that you might like.
