Developmental delays happen when your child is not able to reach their developmental milestones at their expected times. Delays can occur in many areas, such as gross or fine motor skills, language, cognition, or social skills. Children with developmental delays may need a multi-faceted team that can deliver physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to improve their quality of life.
So what causes a developmental delay?
It may occur due to the following reasons:
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
Genetic Defect
Severe Medical Problems Developed Soon After Birth
Fragile X Syndrome
And Oftentimes, a Cause Cannot Be Found
