http://www.dec-sped.org/positions/devdelayposition.html

Extractions: AS AN ELIGIBILITY CATEGORY Approved: December 2000 DEC believes in the uniqueness of the young child and that services and interventions must be responsive to these unique needs and patterns of development. We believe that the disability categories used for older school-aged children are often inappropriate for young children birth through 8 years and that the category developmental delay can be a more appropriate designation of disability for special education eligibility. We believe that the assessment of disabilities in young children requires consideration of the whole child through the use of multiple sources, informants, settings, and measures. As defined by DEC in 1991, developmental delay is: a condition which represents a significant delay in the process of development. It does not refer to a condition in which a child is slightly or momentarily lagging in development. The presence of developmental delay is an indication that the process of development is significantly affected and that without special intervention, it is likely that educational performance at school age will be effected (DEC, 1991, p.1). Parent and professional members of DEC believe that a developmental delay category of eligibility should be available for all children from birth through age 8. Though DEC recommends that the category of developmental delay be available for birth through age 8, we do not disagree with the provision in IDEA 1997 permitting its use for birth through age 9. We believe that the requirement to identify children by traditional disability categories in the early years might result in a premature categorization or miscategorization of children and consequently inappropriate services. Furthermore, the use of the developmental delay category allows for the identification of children with disabilities at younger ages who otherwise might go unserved because of the difficulties in applying traditional disability categories to young children.

DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY AS AN ELIGIBILITY CATEGORY
THE DIVISION FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD. DEC CONCEPT PAPER ON DEVELOPMENTALDELAY AS AN ELIGIBILITY CATEGORY. Adopted November 2001. This
http://www.dec-sped.org/positions/devdelay.html

Extractions: This concept paper was developed to address policies and practices for using developmental delay as a category of eligibility for young children. These policies and practices have evolved in response to changes in federal legislation and recommended practices in the field of early childhood special education. The purpose of this paper is to provide an update of the 1991 and 1996 Division for Early Childhood (DEC) concept papers on the use of a developmental delay eligibility category for young children and to make recommendations for policy and practice. Introduction, Rationale and Overview a condition which represents a significant delay in the process of development. It does not refer to a condition in which a child is slightly or momentarily lagging in development. The presence of developmental delay is an indication that the process of development is significantly affected and that without special intervention, it is likely that educational performance at school age will be effected (DEC, 1991, p.1). The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 1997 (IDEA '97) supports the availability of developmental delay as an eligibility category for young children and defines the category as such: The term child with a disability for children aged 3 through 9 may, at the discretion of the State and LEA and in accordance with 34 CFR 300.313, include a child - (1) who is experiencing developmental delays, as defined by the State and as measured by appropriate diagnostic instruments and procedures, in one or more of the following areas: physical development, cognitive development, communication development, social or emotional development, or adaptive development; and (2) who by reason thereof, needs special education and related services (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Regulations, 1999).

Description of warning signs, evaluation, and early intervention.Category Health Mental Health developmental delayWhat 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 delay can occur in all five areas of development or it 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).

http://www.howkidsdevelop.com/fcCommon.html

Extractions: How Common is Developmental Delay Among Children in Foster Care Children entering foster care have a number of risk factors for developmental and behavioral difficulties. Risk factors for developmental and behavioral problems include genetic disorders, exposure to viruses and/or toxins (including drugs) during pregnancy, poverty and abuse and neglect (see What are the risk factors for developmental delay? for more details). Children entering foster care are thus at greater risk for developmental difficulties than children in the general population. Developmental delays seen in children in foster care can include problems with all five of the domains of development, including: Speech and language delays and behavior problems related to poor social and emotional development are two of the most common problems with development seen in children entering foster care.
