Introduction to Developmental Delays
  • Delay refers to a significant lag in meeting
    milestones in one or more developmental areas

4
Introduction to Developmental Delays
  • Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
    IDEA mandates services for infants, toddlers,
    and preschool children with specific delays

5
Introduction to Developmental Delays
  • Delays covered under IDEA include
  • Communication Development
  • Cognitive Development
  • Physical (Motor) Development
  • Social-Emotional Development
  • Adaptive Development

6
Scope of the Problem
  • 12-17 of American children have delays in at
    least one developmental area
  • 5 have delays in gt2 areas

Speech and Language (S/L) Delays
  • Speech and language delays
  • Receptive language
  • Expressive language
  • Articulation
  • Oral-motor coordination
  • Fluency
  • Language pragmatics

Speech and Language (S/L) Delays
  • Untreated speech/language delays in preschool
    children are persistent in 40-60 of kids

Cognitive Delays
  • Deficits in intellectual abilities that might
    include difficulties in
  • Ability to acquire, process, retain information

13
Cognitive DelaysSo What?
  • In a 20-yr follow-up study of children identified
    with developmental delays as 3 yr olds,
    greater cognitive delay assoc w/
  • More academic problems
  • Less skilled employment
  • Less functional independence
  • More behavior problems
