Return to main menu Return to "Reflex" menu What is Developmental Delay? Developmental Delay describes the omission or arrest of a stage in early development which can manifest itself in several ways: · Specific Learning Difficulties Dyslexia Dyspraxia Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) Under-achievement · Behavioural Problems Hyperactivity (ADHD) Bedwetting · Coordination Difficulties Poor balance Clumsiness Each of us is born with a set of automatic survival responses known as "primitive reflexes." A baby's automatic gripping of an object placed in its hand is one example. These baby reflexes should be controlled by a higher part of the brain during the first year of life. In Developmental Delay, some of these reflexes remain improperly integrated. The result is a conflict between what the child's mind wills and how its body responds. Depending on which reflexes have remained immature, certain activities will not come easily. Symptoms may include problems with balance (e.g. motion sickness or difficulty learning to ride a bicycle); with coordination (e.g. learning to tie shoelaces or to do up buttons); with control of eye movements (necessary for reading); and with hand-eye coordination (necessary for writing). Parents and teachers often fail to recognize the physical nature of such difficulties. This can lead the child to experience great frustration, which may lead to emotional and behavioural problems later on.

Screening Questionnaire: Does your child suffer from Developmental Delay? Risk Factors: · During pregnancy, were there any medical problems such as threatened miscarriage, high blood pressure, or excessive vomiting? · Was your child born more than 12 days early or 12 days late? · Was the birth process complicated in any way? Prolonged labour? Foetal distress? Forceps delivery? Caesarian section? · Was the child's weight 5 lbs or less? Did the child have difficulties at birth? With breathing? A blue baby? Heavily bruised? Jaundiced? · Is there any history of learning difficulties in your family? Common Manifestations: · Did your child omit the stages of crawling on its tummy or creeping on its hands and knees? · Was there any delay in learning to walk (16 months or later)?

Developmental Delay Developmental delay comes in various degrees of severity and is a common cause of parental worry. Far too often parents are told, "He will out grow it", "He is just a little immature" or "He'll catch up. Just give him a lot of love". Parents know in their hearts that it is not right and that the problem is real. Developmental delay can have many causes but one of the most common is a slowly developing nervous system. There are many reasons that explain a slowly developing nervous system including disease or even various types of brain injury. However, it is important to realize that if the delay of the nervous system occurs early in life it usually impedes the rate of development. This means the gap between such a child and his or her chronological peers will widen with age. For this reason, parents need to act early to provide appropriate programs for their child that can help minimize this gap. Older children with developmental delay usually have additional problems. They are often the product of a system that is quick to give up. They are exposed to limits placed on them that then become the reality even though there was no bases for these limits other than the fact that no one knew what to do. They can become stagnant, unmotivated, or suffer from a poor quality of life below their potential. The important thing to remember is that they can be helped. Their situation is not hopeless and parents can become empowered and enabled to offer effective productive help that can contribute significantly to the quality of life of the delayed child. This means not only the quality of the child's life but as a result, the quality of life for all the family members as well. The CNR has garnered a great deal of experience working with thousands of developmentally delayed children and their families since 1965. It is our belief that through organized stimulation programs, you can

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.

Severe Sinus Blockage and Developmental Delay Follow Ups Post Followup OHBM Data Sharing Issues Message Board Posted by Susan Leonard on March 11, 2002 at 18:50:35: I am the parent of an autistic 3 year old with a seizure disorder (mainly absense seizures, still not totally under control.) He is very verbal and high functioning for an autistic child. All of his head CTs and MRIs have come back normal...with the exception of a sinus CT done last week. He is now scheduled for surgery to "clean out" a 100% blocked sinus on the right side. His surgeon has described the blockage to be pus/infectious matter. Every time my son takes antibiotics, his language skyrockets and he is much more attentive and alert. The surgeon states that this may be due to the antibiotic fighting the sinus blockage, but being unable to reach the inner portion, thus the pus remains and has become resistant to antibiotics. As the sinuses are located right up against the brain, I am wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of research and or articles discussing the effects of long-term infection on brain development. I am especially interested in anything dealing with seizures or speech/auditory delays. Thanks

Developmental Delay A diagnosis of Developmental Delay is defined as: A developmental delay occurs when your child has the delayed achievement of one or more of her/his milestones. This may affect your child's speech and language, his fine and gross motor skills, and/or his personal and social skills. (Source: www.keepkidshealthy.com/welcome/conditions/ developmentaldelays.html Implications for physical activity There could be a wide range of impacts on physical activity, dependent on the areas in which the child is specifically delayed. It is important to understand any underlying condition which may have contributed to developmental delay as this condition may have contraindications or concerns with physical activity. Gross Motor delay Modifications may be required of physical activities where they are not able to keep up with their peers. Often preparatory work is very important for these children, warming up fully before they attempt tasks. For example, before attempting some ball skills start with some weightbearing activities in the upper limbs then start with larger or more textured balls before including in a modified version of the whole class activity. Many children with delay have low resting muscle tone which also impacts on their readiness to participate. Trampolining, rolling or even spinning may give them some general sensory input to increase their tone for activity.

Welcome Older Adults Developmental Delay Medicine Psychiatry Links Music Therapy and Developmental Delay Often people with developmental delay and learning disabilities such as Down's Syndrome will respond to music. The response may range from a blink or a smile to vocalisation, singing or dancing. Music therapy can offer opportunities for response and expression to children and adults with developmental delays. Music Therapy and Communication Music Therapy and Movement People with developmental delays may have delayed motor development and/or physical disabilities. Playing musical instruments and singing are simple ways to demonstrate ability regardless of the sound created. Movement to music develops self-awareness (Hanser, 1987). The movement can be slight like tapping a chime or bell with a hand or finger or large like gripping a beater and playing a cymbal, tone bar or drum. The connection between the sound and the person’s movement encourages self-awareness and repetition, which can create a learning environment. Adults and children with developmental delay can move to music in physical exercise and in dance. These types of experiences will also encourage social interaction, enjoyment and exercise. Because music is time ordered it is an ideal stimulus to help coordinate movement (Davis, 1999).

Search the Site: news community diaries toddlerface album ... shop At a Slower Pace Developmental Delay or Developing Personality? Comparing your toddler to how your older kids acted at that age is a natural reaction for any parent. But Phyllis Ring of Exeter, N.H. still had an open mind when it came to her second child. "Our son, Tobey, second of our two children, had an older sister who was a strong first child and explorer who did everything early, even with the physical disability of a birth defect (bilateral clubfoot, later corrected by surgery)," she says. "So by birth order and gender, Tobey was already predisposed to doing things at a slower pace developmentally, but it caused some concern when his vocabulary by age 2 remained minimal." Ring was confused by Tobey's apparent delay because "he was up to speed in all other areas – he actually showed signs of gifted tendencies in mechanical, fine-motor and artistic skills. He assembled puzzles advanced for his age, demonstrated an acrobat's balance and coordination and executed drawings that showed early glimmerings of an innate artist. But his few words remained: 'Ma, Da, Va' (first two letters of sister's name) and, of course, the obligatory toddler's 'no.'" Ring describes her son as "an otherwise happy, active child" but it was obvious that he had very little to say.
