A developmental delay refers to a child who has not gained the developmental skills expected of him or her, compared to others of the same age. Delays may occur in the areas of motor function, speech and language, cognitive, play, and social skills.
Can developmental delay be overcome?
Developmental delays can often be overcome with the passage of time. By utilizing early intervention services, your child should be able to bridge the gap and achieve their maximum potential.
Who can provide assistance for developmental delay?
An occupational therapist can assist if your child requires support in developing their physical abilities or struggles with independent tasks such as feeding, dressing, or playing. An educational psychologist can provide help with learning and optimizing their educational environment.
