Hi my daughter is diagnosed with having global developmental delay what can we do has parents to help her? she is now 12yrs and never had friend thank

See a pediatrician: First thing to do is get evaluated by her pediatrician. There are several causes for developmental delay- including endocrine, nutritional, systemic diseases, psychosocial etc. May need multidisciplinary approach- ? Psychiatrist, social worker. It is better to do the evaluation as soon as possible as certain conditions may cause permanent damage if not treated early.

Full evaluations for: Genetic & other medical causes of intellectual disability (her diagnosis if her "gdd" persisted till school age) are done by developmental/behavioral pediatricians & pediatric neuropsychologists test cognitive & social/ adaptive abilities. An mdt eval was done by her school if she has an iep. They'll start "transition to adulthood" at 14. Diagnosis & prognosis drive needed funding & services.

Many social groups: There are many organizations which support social programs for handicapped individuals. I would start with your local association for retarded citizens.
