If your child doesn't seem to be meeting communication milestones within several weeks of the average, ask her pediatrician about it. It may be nothing, but if your child is delayed in some way, recognizing and treating the problem early will keep his later learning and communication skills from being compromised. Keep in mind that the timetable for language development is broad, and your child may run into small roadblocks along the way. You may find your preschooler repeating a word several times in the middle of a sentence as a way of holding your attention as she formulates the rest of her thought. (This is not the same thing as stuttering .) As long as she can speak clearly by the time she's ready for first grade, your child's on track. But as a general rule, trust your instincts. If something seems wrong to you, ask about it. After all, you know your child best. (Our language evaluation tests can help, too.) That said, keep your eye out for any of the following possible warning signs; if it helps, print out this form for a helpful reference.

Extractions: Home Autism is a complex developmental disability affecting 1 in 500 individuals (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 1997) . This disease appears during the first three years of life and is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain. It is four times more prevalent in boys than in girls and knows no racial, ethnic or social boundaries. Over one half million people in the U.S. today have autism making it one of the most common developmental disabilities. Typical characteristics of Autism are: Abnormal ways of relating to people, objects, and events; Unusually high or low activity levels; Insistence that the environment and routine remain unchanged; Little imaginative play, use of toys and objects in an unconventional manner; Severe impairment of social interaction development; Repetitive movements such as rocking and spinning, head banging, and hand twisting; Sensitivities to the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. Early diagnosis of the disease is very important, but appropriate help given at any age can make a big difference.

IMPLICATIONS OF CULTURE ON DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY
THE IMPLICATIONS OF CULTURE ON developmental delay By Rebeca Valdivia. A child mayhave an acrossthe-board developmental delay or a delay in specific areas.
http://www.kidneeds.com/diagnostic_categories/articles/culturedelay01.htm

Extractions: By Rebeca Valdivia 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.

Guidelines Outline Evaluation Of Children With Global Developmental Delay

Extractions: American Academy of Neurology ST. PAUL, MN (February 4, 2003) Child neurologists with the American Academy of Neurology and the Child Neurology Society have released new practice guidelines recommending tests that should be used to diagnose even the youngest children with global developmental delay. Between 40,000 and 120,000 U.S. and Canadian children are born each year with global developmental delay (mental retardation). While incurable, early testing and diagnosis of global developmental delay may help determine the cause of the disorder, and assist physicians and parents in developing a plan for treatment. The guidelines are based on a review of all of the scientific studies on global developmental delay published from 1980 to 2000. The guidelines are published in the February 11 issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. "Careful evaluation of the research showed that some of the newer tests, such as cytogenetic studies, should be used more often than they are, and others, such as routine metabolic screening, do not need to be used on every child with global developmental delay," said child neurologist Michael Shevell, MD, Montreal Children's Hospital, who is a co-author of the guidelines.

Extractions: Developmental Delay Disorders Pervasive Developmental Delay (PDD), Autism Paul seemed to be a normal child until age two and a half when his speech and behavior showed marked deterioration. His problems included decreased eye contact, difficulty with loud sounds, no expressive speech, chronic bloody noses and recurrent ear infections. He became easily fatigued and displayed aggressive behavior. His diagnosis was Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). He had been receiving appropriate speech and occupational therapy. Paul was tested for food allergies at age three. Once the foods he was allergic to had been identified, sublingual immunotherapy for food was added to his treatment. Two days after starting the food immunotherapy, the results were so dramatic that his teachers were astonished. Within two days, Paul was reading, counting from 1 to 10, saying his alphabet and speaking in four to five word sentences rather than his previous speech pattern of uttering just one or two words at a time. His difficulties with eye contact, fatigue, aggressive behavior and attention span all significantly improved once he began allergy treatment. Although this dramatic response is unusual for a developmentally delayed child, many children with this problem can be helped. What are some common symptoms of developmental delay disorders?

The Child With Developmental Delay: An Approach To Etiology
COMMENTARY. January 2003, Volume 8, Number 1 1619 The child withdevelopmental delay An approach to etiology WS Meschino. OBJECTIVE
http://www.pulsus.com/Paeds/08_01/mesc_ed.htm

Extractions: WS Meschino OBJECTIVE: To describe an approach to history, physical examination and investigation for the developmentally delayed child. METHODS: A review of electronic databases from 1997 to 2001 was done searching for articles relating to the approach to or investigations of children with developmental delay. Five studies, including a review of a consensus conference on evaluation of mental retardation, were chosen because of their general approaches to developmental delay and/or mental retardation, or specific evaluations of a particular laboratory investigation. CONCLUSIONS: A diagnosis or cause of mental retardation can be identified in 20% to 60% of cases. Evaluation of the developmentally delayed child should include a detailed history and physical examination, taking special care to record a three-generation pedigree, as well as to look for dysmorphic features. If no other cause is apparent, routine investigations should include a chromosome study and fragile X studies. Further investigations are warranted depending on the clinical features.
