Hi, my nephey had meningitis when he was 7
month old. Now hes is 6 years old but his
speach is delayed and he is late in mental
development. We are concerned about what
to do to help him develop. Anyone with a
similar situation?

i had meningitis when i was 4 weeks old. I
had the same problem, but they found that
i was deaf around 3 years old. So they
delayed my learning development. Going
through it and being in my 20's. I would
just say give him as much encouragement.
Not only is it difficult for you, but it
is as well for him. At 6 years old i
remember feeling bad about myself, because
i was being taken out of classes to get
speech classes. He will progress. Lots of
encouragement!!! Can't stress that enough!
I now have a certain type of infection
behind my ear (my brain) and it is caused
by meningitis when i was younger.
