5 yr old with a speech delay - medical for PR?

[foy465]

Hi, We are currently on a 457 visa, been in Brisbane for almost 3 months and are now thinking of PR. My husband is a mechanical engineer and came over with the company he worked for in the UK, the position here is permanent and they expect us and will sponsor us for PR when we wish.

 

The only issue we see is the fact that our 5 yr old son has a speech delay. This is a sounds problem, he has the vocab he just has issues with actually saying them due to having a high roof to his mouth and he had a year of bad glue ear (this is now out-grown it is a tube problem which is temporary).

 

Has anyone had a similar problem? We have been in touch with George Lombard who is going to give us a report on whether this will be an issue (costing us of course) as we heard he is very good with medical problems.

 

Any advice would be really appreciated

I do not think it will be an issue. I have seen people getting PR with cancer or even AIDS.

 

Wish your son all the best !. I am sure he will able to speak normally soon.:hug::hug:

Thanks Machang...He is improving all the time and school will make a big difference (he had already started in the U.K and he had come on so much) I am hoping we will be ok.
