Thanks so much for all your responses. I may be panicking a little too much possibly... but this has not been the 1st hurdle and I can't sleep properly due to the suspense and not knowing, I am sure Welshpod in particular can relate to this! Alot of other peoples children have had S & L therapy etc but the issue has only been brought up lately with my son so we have no real documentation or assessment or diagnosis just that he is behind with speech and he also was a little slower at walking it was about 16 months when he started to walk. I wish you the best of luck Welshpod, do let me know how you get on

Good Morning! I have a question which has been asked 100 times on here but as ever my case is slightly different from all the rest! I am currently in the very early stages of getting a PR visa via sponsorship. Unfortunately I have just become aware of the issues which can arise from having leaning disabilities and having your visa granted. My son is just under 2.5 years old and has speech delay he was referred to a Speech therapist who decided he should attend a learn and grown group rather than having therapy at this stage. In general he does the majority of what a child should at his age it is really just his speech. So the big question is...are we likely to get our visa? Has anyone else had the same circumstance? as most I see on here are from people who's children have been diagnosed with Autism etc and are a little older. One other thing which I thought of was whether it is possible to agree to pay for any costs my child will incur due to his speech delay once in Australia such as paying for any therapy or extra schooling he may need? Is this even possible? Many thanks for anybody's input I have also emailed George Lombard but there is nothing like peoples personal experiences!
