Hello everyone
I have a 4 year old daughter with OMA. Her eye condition was diagnosed at 6 months. Unfortunately nobody here in Denmark has been aware of the link between this eye condition and the developmental delays children with OMA can suffer from until last week where we met a new doctor. For the very first time we received some written information about OMA and also found this site. What a relief!. From this we could see that our daughter is a typical OMA child. She walked when she was 2,5 years and is developmental delayed. Her main problem today is her speech delay. We have noticed that she cannot move her tongue the way others can. In particular she cannot move her tongue sideways or upwards. It that normal? She only masters about 10 oral words so she has learned sign language which she uses a lot when she is together with us. Does anyone have any experiences with how to deal with speech delays or just want to share their experiences, please feel to email me at b.berg@mail.tdcadsl.dk.
