3Introduction to Developmental Delays
- Delay refers to a significant lag in meeting
milestones in one or more developmental areas
4Introduction to Developmental Delays
- Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
IDEA mandates services for infants, toddlers,
and preschool children with specific delays
5Introduction to Developmental Delays
- Delays covered under IDEA include
- Communication Development
- Cognitive Development
- Physical (Motor) Development
- Social-Emotional Development
- Adaptive Development
6Scope of the Problem
- 12-17 of American children have delays in at
least one developmental area - 5 have delays in gt2 areas
