Developmental Delay is a condition in which a child does not reach expected developmental milestones at the usual age. These milestones include skills related to movement, speech, learning, behavior, and social interaction.
A child may have a delay in one area or in multiple areas of development. Developmental delay is not a disease, but a term used to describe slower development compared to other children of the same age. With early identification, therapy, and proper support, many children show significant improvement.
