Question

Anyone out there who has a developmentally delayed teenager?

Answer 1

I'm not really sure what you mean by developmentally delayed teenager. Developmentally delayed in special education lingo is usually reserved for younger children like 4-5 years old and younger. You might want to be more specific in your question. How is your teenager "delayed"?

Answer 2

I'm 19 and sometimes in many area have the maturity of a 10-12 yr old, and social skills equal to 14 yrs old.

When I graduated HS, I felt I was ready to enter HS, Before I was ready for middle school. If I started 4 years late, everything will be better.

I'm 5 semesters into college, but still lost and confused. (basically gone nowhere)

Answer 3

I have a developmentally delayed teenage sister, she was in special ed for most of school but she's 17 now and at a point where it's hard to tell alot of the time, so I don't know if it's still classified as DD this age.
