Extractions: Related Links Speech Delay Cerebral Palsy Hearing Loss Mental Retardation ... Diseases and Conditions Parents are often have concerns about their children's development, especially when they see other children of the same age who have already attained a milestone that their child still hasn't met, causing them to think that their child is 'slow' or 'seems behind.' It is important to keep in mind that for each milestone, there is a range of ages during which a child will normally meet it. For example, some children may walk as early as 11 months, while others may not walk until they are 15 months old, and it is still concerned normal. Developmental milestones are determined by the average age at which children attain each skill, therefore, statistically, about 3% of children will not meet them on time, but only about 15-20% of these children will actually have abnormal development. The rest will eventually develop normally over time, although a little later than expected.

Extractions: Developmental Delay What is developmental delay? Developmental Delay is when your child does not reach their developmental milestones at the expected times. It is an ongoing, major delay in the process of development If your child is slightly or only temporarily lagging behind, that is not called developmental delay. Delay can occur in one or many areasfor example, motor, language, social, or thinking skills. Developmental Delay is usually a diagnosis made by a doctor based on strict guidelines. Usually, though, the parent is the first to notice that their child is not progressing at the same rate as other children the same age. If you think your child may be slow, or seems behind, talk with their doctor about it.
Virtual Children's Hospital: Pediatrics: Neurology
Article summarizing causes and probable outcomes in developmental delay.
http://www.vh.org/pediatric/patient/pediatrics/developmentaldelay/

Extractions: 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.
The Implications Of Culture On Developmental Delay
Article on avoiding errors in diagnosis that stem from differences among various cultures and professionals about what constitutes a disability or delay.
http://ericec.org/digests/e589.html

Extractions: December 1999 Developmental delay refers to a lag in development rather than to a specific condition causing that lag. It represents a slower rate of development, in which a child exhibits a functional level below the norm for his or her age. A child may have an across-the-board developmental delay or a delay in specific areas. When a child's development appears to lag, many service providers prefer to apply the less specific term "developmental delay," rather than a more specific disability diagnosis, since symptoms of specific disabilities may be unclear in young children. It is possible that a child with a developmental delay who receives services will not develop a disability; whereas if the same child did not receive services, the delay would become a disability. Because it is based on a comparison of the child's functional level with that of other children of the same age, "developmental delay" can be seen as a statistically defined, socially mediated construct that depends on cultural expectations and the definition of what constitutes a delay. Developmental Delay under the Law Prior to 1997, IDEA defined infants and toddlers with disabilities as individuals from birth through age two, inclusive, who need early intervention services because they

http://www.cfc-efc.ca/docs/cccf/00018_en.htm

Extractions: For years I've known a family and a staff group who worked through many of the challenges of including a child with a developmental delay in an early childhood program. Here is their story. When I met Gloria, she was absolutely pleased with the child care she had arranged for her daughter, Stephanie, a charming, beautiful, brown-eyed 10-month-old with thick curly hair and a developmental delay. Gloria took Stephanie to a neighbourhood family day home provider three days a week. About 18 months later, I received my first frantic phone call from Gloria. Stephanie's provider was moving out of province. The family day home agency didn't have any spaces in a home nearby but the agency staff had recommended a day care centre in the community. Gloria wanted some assurance that Stephanie would thrive in a day care environment. Would there be extra help for Stephanie (she was crawling and the other two-year-olds would be walking)? Who would help Stephanie with her language? How would she know what Stephanie ate each day? On and on the questions went. Gloria and her husband, Jack, made several visits to the centre, spent time talking to the director and staff and decided to enrol Stephanie. Over the next three years, I kept in touch with Stephanie, her parents and the staff at the centre. I heard about the times of joy as Stephanie went to birthday parties with her day care friends, learned to ride a bike and began to talk. I also heard about the times of frustration when there were communication problems between parents and staff, when Stephanie had difficulty playing with other children, and those months when toilet training seemed an impossible dream.

Extractions: Many developmental delays are triggered by auto-immune or allergic reactions to certain foods or medications. When proteins are digested, they are broken down to amino acids, which cells use to build new proteins for the body. When proteins are not completely broken down, the resultant strings of amino acids can produce unexpected, opiate-like effects. When drugs do not break down as expected in the body, similarly unexpected reactions are triggered. Many of the following issues point to pages that offer insight into the resulting diagnoses, or dietary/therapeutic alternatives. allergies The Allergy Connection , Dr. Layton's page covering the link between allergies and a handful of disabilities Dr. Braly Allergy Relief Allergy Relief the Natural Way Cambridge Nutraceuticals Environmental and Preventive Health Center of Atlanta , Dr. Edelson's work on the immune system breakdown Food Allergies , Dr. Gislason explains immunology and hypersensitivity

Extractions: Print friendly Tell a friend Find subscription deals Developmental delay refers to any significant retardation in a child's physical, cognitive, behavioral, emotional, or social development. The two most frequent reasons for classing a child as having developmental delay involve those psychological systems for which there are good norms. This is especially true for motor development and language development. Because it is known that all children begin to crawl by eight months of age and walk by the middle of the second year, any child who was more than five or six months delayed in attaining those two milestones would probably be classified as developmentally delayed and the parents should consult the pediatrician. Most children begin to speak their first words before they are eighteen months old and by three years of age the vast majority are speaking short sentences. Therefore, any child who is not speaking words or sentences by the third birthday would be considered developmentally delayed and, as in motor development delay, the parent should consult the pediatrician.

How A Child Develops - Development Delay
What is developmental delay and what services are available if I thinkmy child might be delayed? What is a developmental delay?
http://www.howkidsdevelop.com/developDevDelay.html

Extractions: Child development refers to the process in which children go through changes in skill development during predictable time periods, called developmental milestones . Developmental delay occurs when children have not reached these milestones by the expected time period. For example, if the normal range for learning to walk is between 9 and 15 months, and a 20-month-old child has still not begun walking, this would be considered a developmental delay. Developmental delays can occur in all five areas of development or may just happen in one or more of those areas (to read about the five areas of development, click here ). Additionally, growth in each area of development is related to growth in the other areas. So if there is a difficulty in one area (e.g., speech and language), it is likely to influence development in other areas (e.g., social and emotional).
