he was diagnosed with global developmental delay at 18 months. at that time, i felt the diagnosis was correct, but it's been more than half a year now and lots has changed.
i was looking up 2 year milestones from this website:
https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/actearly/milestones/milestones-2yr.html
he basically does every single milestone on the list, except for the ones related to him saying words he has 0 english words (although he grunts and babbles)
Movement/Physical Development
Stands on tiptoe
Kicks a ball
Begins to run
Climbs onto and down from furniture without help
Walks up and down stairs holding on
Throws ball overhand
Makes or copies straight lines and circles
Cognitive (learning, thinking, problem-solving)
Finds things even when hidden under two or three covers
Begins to sort shapes and colors
Completes sentences and rhymes in familiar books
Plays simple make-believe games
Builds towers of 4 or more blocks
Might use one hand more than the other
Follows two-step instructions such as “Pick up your shoes and put them in the closet.”
Names items in a picture book such as a cat, bird, or dog
Language/Communication
Points to things or pictures when they are named
Knows names of familiar people and body parts
Says sentences with 2 to 4 words
Follows simple instructions
Repeats words overheard in conversation
Points to things in a book
Social and Emotional
Copies others, especially adults and older children
Gets excited when with other children
Shows more and more independence
Shows defiant behavior (doing what he has been told not to)
Plays mainly beside other children, but is beginning to include other children, such as in chase games
so...is it based off a general milestone list or would he have to undergo another kind of special evaluation to determine if he really still has it?
