My grandchild has hetertopia. I have read everything available on this disease. Some experts say one thing, some another. Almost all agree that she will have some type of seizure disorder when she gets older. She is going to be 5 this year,( acts more like a 2-3 yr old) barely knows any kids songs, her speech is not understandable by those that are not around her much. She does know her colors and her ABC's (orally) but does not know them by recognition. She is in a public school pre school, there are no special schools in this area. I have noticed that she has seemed to hit a peak and has not progressed in the past 6 months. Also have noticed that she can just be standing there and fall. Have urged her mom to get another eval and MRI but mom does not want to hear what the prognosis will be. Anyone out there that have children with this, and how far did they progress in school/speech and chronological age vs mental age?
