She's beyond dense, isn't she? Speech & language therapy...no mention of autism. I'm guessing the health visitor is one of these ones who is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Can none of them see beyond the complete absence of language and notice the lack of emotion or expression in response to seemingly anything? Utterly deluded. & this waffle about it not being a parents fault if their child is delayed - who is she trying to convince? Of course it isn't a parents fault if a child is delayed, has autism, etc etc - but it IS absolutely the fault of the parent when they do bugger all to help their child & swan about so bleeping irresponsibly.
