Developmental Delay Kathy Mathews, M.D. Pediatric Neurology Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Creation Date: October 1998 Last Revision Date: October 1998 A child with developmental delay is a child who is not achieving certain skills as quickly as expected. In otherwords, the child is not reaching developmental landmarks at the usual age. One subset of children with developmental delay includes those with very early onset of their disorder. These children have delay in walking and other motor skills and their motor difficulties do not get worse over time. This is often referred to as "cerebral palsy." Conditions that are genetic (inherited) are not usually included in this category. Very low birth weight infants account for many, but not all, children who meet the criteria for "cerebral palsy." Causes There are numerous causes of developmental delay. One of the goals of the Pediatric Neurologist is to identify the cause of a child's neurologic or develomental problem. Sometimes this task is easy (for example, if a child had obvious brain injury from a severe brain infection), but more often it is difficult and may require a variety of different tests. The tests we recommend are based on the information we gather from parents and the findings on physical examination. It often takes more than one clinic visit to identify a specific disease, condition or syndrome. Children are constantly changing. As we follow this pattern of change, new diagnoses may be considered. Often, despite the tests and several clinic visits, we are unable to identify a specific diagnosis.
