Hi I'm just wondering.  if any one with new diagnosis.. could help me .. understand.. everything that happens .. he has a district nurse . He also has had a lady he goes to thur sure start . For sensory play .. he is verbal but limited .. I've had quite a few visits with a few other ladys .. an they say it's for plan in action.. I'm waiting on word from education authority.. to see what school he will be placed in 
. He has moderate to severe learning difficulties.. but it seems I'm going from pillar to post on that matter .. I didn't send him to nursey.  As he is not potty trained .. I'm trying to get him potty trained .. so it's a little challenging.. can anyone help on this matter .. just so I have some understanding..an what to expect.. kind reguards..
