Leonard’s Story
Leonard was born at full term and weighed in at 3.58kgs, he was allowed to go home the following day. It was not until he was 2 and a half years old that the Health Visitor expressed concerns over his speech and so referred him for assessment whereby a diagnosis of language delay and speech sound disorder followed. He can speak but is often hard to understand, which greatly frustrates and angers him. He often reverts to making noises and showing ‘you’ what he wants/needs.
He has lots of allergies including to bananas, peas, fish, birds, and dogs. Leonard does not like sitting still for any length of time as he loves being outside and active.
