CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Kids can outgrow or catch up from developmental delays. Developmental disabilities are lifelong, though people can still make progress and thrive. Conditions that can cause developmental disabilities include Down syndrome, autism, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), and brain injuries.

Detailed explanation-2: -This is also known as global developmental delay. With time, some children will show some catch up, but for many, although they will continue to make developmental progress, the gap between themselves and other children of the same age will widen over time.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples include learning disabilities, cerebral palsy and intellectual disability. Usually health professionals use the term ‘developmental delay’ only until they can work out what’s causing the delay.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ask For a Referral If you or the doctor thinks there might be a delay, ask the doctor for a referral to a specialist who can do a more in-depth evaluation of your child. Doctors your child might be referred to include: Developmental pediatricians.
