15 Month old not sitting from laying position or walking

While this doesn't really help you as a daycare provider, I just wanted to share my experience. My own son was a bum scootcher, who never crawled and never wanted to stand or walk. He was also late at learning to sit up, though I think was doing so by 15 months. However, it was around that time that he diagnosed as having hypermobility in his joints (particularly his hips and shoulders). You'll probably want to google it for more info, but it explained everything (not crawling, not standing, etc.). Basically, he felt very unsteady and uncomfortable trying. He was referred to a physiotherapist who met with us regularly and gave us some tips for how to help him at home. He eventually started standing around 17 months and walking around 18 months and today he's a typical 2 year old, other than that he's more flexible than most.

I'm wondering if it will end up like this. I'm hoping the right person will come along and kinda get things going for him. The nurse said to have him stand but I think she just puts him in an exceed saucer or walker and I don't think that's helping. Prob hindering him just as much
