GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT DELAY
Help For Delayed Development
Global developmental delay refers to a condition characterised by below-average intellectual functioning and significant limitations in multiple areas of development. It is typically identified when a child fails to reach developmental milestones within the expected time frame.
Children with Global Developmental Delay (GDD) experience delays in various aspects of development. This includes delays in speech and language, social skills, cognitive abilities, play, and motor skills.
Individuals with global developmental delay may exhibit delayed acquisition of skills such as sitting up, crawling, and walking. They may struggle with reasoning, understanding concepts, and social interactions. Communication difficulties, limited judgment, and aggressive behaviour as a coping mechanism can also be observed.
Early identification and intervention are crucial in supporting individuals with global developmental delay. A comprehensive assessment by professionals can help determine the specific areas of delay and tailor appropriate interventions to promote overall development and improve quality of life.
Common Signs of Global Development Delay (GDD)
Common signs of global developmental delay (GDD) in children may vary depending on their age and developmental stage. However, some general signs that may indicate GDD include:
- Delays in reaching developmental milestones
- Slow or limited speech development
- Motor skill delays
- Cognitive delays
- Social and emotional challenges
- Poor coordination and balance
Evidence-Based Intervention Programs
Our program offers a comprehensive approach to lessen the symptoms of global developmental delay (GDD) by targeting key areas of development. These areas may include:
- Sensory Integration and Motor skills therapy
Improve the brain’s ability to process and respond to sensory information effectively. The therapist creates a structured and supportive environment that allows the child to explore and engage with sensory stimuli in a controlled manner.
- Floortime THERAPY
Build a strong emotional connection and fostering meaningful interactions. Through play and interactive activities, the therapist aims to promote the child’s communication, self-regulation, problem-solving, social, and emotional development.
- Cognitive Stimulation
Focus on stimulating cognitive skills such as attention, memory, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
