It is hard to hear but this is the first step to getting where you want to be. If you do not understand why they listed him as cognitively delayed, ask. They will explain exactly what they saw and why they marked it and how they plan to address it and then armed with information you can decide if you agree or not (remember they only saw him for one hour) and how you want to proceed.
