Developmental delay is a neuro-developmental disorder
An individual who has been diagnosed with developmental delay likely suffered from an event that took place before birth, during or after birth, which affected their brain development and function
When the brain is damaged, the individual can have a range of symptoms as a result. For children diagnosed with developmental delay, often the brain damage suffered can lead to symptoms such as poor speech development, hyperactivity, sensory hypersensitivity, disorganization, anxiousness, poor fine and gross motor skills, poor coordination, repetitive, poor response to name, poor visual development or visual impairment, social withdrawal, lack of affection reception.
