Could you explain what is global developmental delay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Broad features: An infant is born with the basic physical ability to control the muscles needed to feed, lift and turn the head some and while engage parents with visual recognition. As they move through childhood, they acquire new skills. Failing to do so in a single area like motor skills, would be labeled motor delay.Failing in many areas, including motor, speech and language and social skills would be global.
