	Developmental Delay: Encyclopedia of Children's Health
		A developmental delay is any significant lag in a child's physical, cognitive, behavioral, emotional, or social development, in comparison with norms.
		Developmental delay refers to when a child's development lags behind established normal ranges for his or her age.
		Sometimes the term is used for mental retardation, which is not a delay in development but rather a permanent limitation.

	IMPLICATIONS OF CULTURE ON DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY
		Developmental delay refers to a lag in development rather than to a specific condition causing that lag.
		Because it is based on a comparison of the child's functional level with that of other children of the same age, "developmental delay" can be seen as a statistically defined, socially mediated construct that depends on cultural expectations and the definition of what constitutes a delay.
		Developmental delay is often interpreted as the precursor to the label 'disabled' for children from birth to nine years old.

		Developmental delay is defined as a condition which represents a significant delay in the process of development.
		The presence of developmental delay is an indication that the process of development is significantly affected and that without special intervention it is likely that the child's ability to attain normal developmental milestones and educational performance at school would be jeopardized.
		Where the developmental delay persists beyond 8 years of age, the reason(s) is usually known.

	Use of "Developmental Delay" by States and LEAs-- Topic Brief (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		the decision on whether to use "developmental delay" was changed from being at the sole discretion of the state to being at the discretion of both the state and the LEA.
		The proposed definition of "developmental delay" under §300.7(a)(2)) has been redesignated as §300.7(b) (children aged 3 through 9 experiencing developmental delays), and revised to include a reference to a new §300.313 that sets out the provisions related to using the term, as follows:
		Thus, if a child has an identified disability (e.g., deafness), it would be appropriate to use the term with that child, even if the state or LEA is using "developmental delay" for other children aged 3 through 9, or a subset of that age range (e.g., ages 3 through 5).

	The Implications of Culture on Developmental Delay. ERIC Digest
		Because families had different interpretations of what constituted a delay or disability, even having their child labeled led to misunderstandings and mistrust between them and the professionals who were attempting to be helpful.
		The cultural implications of the developmental delay category underscore the importance of having a broad array of tools for assessment and instruction as well as a good understanding of the child's culture.
		Instruction for children with developmental delay should reflect the goals identified and mutually agreed upon by the interventionist, educators, specialists, and, of course, the family.

	developmental delays - Keep Kids Healthy
		Developmental milestones are determined by the average age at which children attain each skill, therefore, statistically, about 3% of children will not meet them on time, but only about 15-20% of these children will actually have abnormal development.
		Developmental delays, especially if they involve a language delay which may be secondary to a hearing loss, should be identified as early as possible.
		A delay in fine motor skills in older children may be manifested by not being able to use a spoon or fork, tie his shoes, button his clothes, write his name, draw shapes, color inside the lines, or hold a pencil correctly at the age appropriate time, or by having poor handwriting.

	Developmental disability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Developmental disabilities affect between 1 and 2% of the population in most western countries, although many government sources acknowledge that statistics are flawed in this area.
		Life expectancy among people with developmental disabilities as a group is estimated at 20 years below average, although this is increasing with advancements in adaptive and medical technologies, and as people are leading healthier, more fulfilling lives [3], and some specific diagnoses (such as Freeman-Sheldon syndrome) do not impact on life expectancy.
		Workers with developmental disabilities have historically been paid less for their labour than those in the general workforce, although this is gradually changing with government initiatives, the enforcement of anti-discrimination legislation and changes in perceptions of capability in the general community.

	Developmental delay and infantile spasms : Epilepsy.com/Professionals
		The majority of infants who develop infantile spasms have developmental delay prior to the onset of the seizures, with both the developmental delay and spasms resulting from the same symptomatic etiology.
		The degree of developmental regression that occurs in relation to the severity of the seizures is surprising.
		Infantile spasms and hypsarrhythmia never occur de novo in an adult, so it is unclear whether the developmental consequences of infantile spasms are unique to the patient’s age or to the specific clinical and EEG features of the syndrome.
