What are warning signs of a developmental delay? How is a developmental delay identified? ... What is the difference between an IEP and IFSP? What is a developmental delay? Child development refers to the process in which children go through changes in skill development during predictable time periods, called developmental milestones . Developmental delay occurs when children have not reached these milestones by the expected time period. For example, if the normal range for learning to walk is between 9 and 15 months, and a 20-month-old child has still not begun walking, this would be considered a developmental delay. Developmental delays can occur in all five areas of development or may just happen in one or more of those areas (to read about the five areas of development, click here ). Additionally, growth in each area of development is related to growth in the other areas. So if there is a difficulty in one area (e.g., speech and language), it is likely to influence development in other areas (e.g., social and emotional). What are the risk factors for developmental delay?

Brown, Director Ann Milanese, MD, Medical Director Background In Connecticut, early intervention services are provided through the Birth to Three system. The lead agency in Connecticut is the Department of Mental Retardation. The state is divided into five regions and CCMC Birth to Three program is a provider within the north central region of the state. Referrals/Services All referrals to the Connecticut Birth to Three system go through the Child Development Infoline (1.800.505.7000). The state is divided into five regions, and in each region there are numerous programs which provide Birth to Three services. When our program receives a referral from the Child Development Infoline, we schedule a meeting to evaluate the child's developmental strengths and needs. If a child is not eligible, the family is offered a way to monitor changes in their child's development and decide if there is a need to re-evaluate the child. Information about other community resources is provided to the family. When a child is eligible, the family works with a person from our staff designated as a service coordinator, to choose what they want their child to work on and their goals for their family.

126. Developmental Follow-up Of Pre-term Infants At High Risk For Delays Medical and developmental followup of children born premature. http://www.prematurity.org/followup.html

Developmental Follow-up of Pre-term Infants at High Risk for Delays By Sheena L. Carter, Ph.D. If your baby experienced difficulties at birth that increase his or her chances for developmental difficulties, you may have been invited to participate in a high-risk follow-up program. Follow-up programs exist to track the progress of children who have an increased likelihood of developmental problems that tend to appear gradually over the first several years of life. These developmental problems include major handicapping conditions, such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation, blindness and deafness, but also include more common issues like developmental delays, growth problems, and various types of sensory impairment (vision and hearing problems). Early identification of developmental difficulties is believed to be critical to the success of treatments for these conditions. Developmental Screening Which Children Need Developmental Follow-up?
