Thread: Can Cognitive Development Delays be overcome?

Went to IEP meeting for 4yr pre adoptive daughter. Although we had already been told she was delayed. Special Ed teacher says she is functioning at 20mos-24mos. Severe Cognitive Delays...

What does this mean for her future? Will she ever catch up enough to be in general education classes? Anyone have their child overcome these issues?

I'll be honest, I think the more relevant question is can you accept her if she doesn't "catch up"? If it turns out the cognitive delays is really cognitive impairment, and she never develops further can you deal?
