CNN - Study: Back Sleeping Best For Babies Despite Potential For Developmental D
http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9811/03/infant.sleep/index.html

Extractions: Web posted at: 10:03 p.m. EDT (0203 GMT) ATLANTA (CNN) New research shows babies who sleep on their backs may have developmental delays in creeping and crawling, but can quickly catch up. A report, published in the journal Pediatrics, found infants who slept on their stomachs were able to roll over, sit up, crawl and pull themselves up to standing position earlier than infants who slept on their backs. However, health experts are not recommending parents put their babies to sleep on their stomachs. Instead, researchers said babies should be put on their stomachs or sides while they are awake to help them build upper body strength. The study of 350 health infants from birth to the time they walked, found that back sleepers were eventually able to reach the developmental milestones within a reasonable about of time.

The Web's best resource for pregnancy and baby www.babycenter.com Children learn language at different rates, but most follow a general timeline (though preemies may be off schedule by a few weeks or months). If your child doesn't seem to be meeting communication milestones within several weeks of the average, ask her pediatrician about it. It may be nothing, but if your child is delayed in some way, recognizing and treating the problem early will keep his later learning and communication skills from being compromised. Keep in mind that the timetable for language development is broad, and your child may run into small roadblocks along the way. You may find your preschooler repeating a word several times in the middle of a sentence as a way of holding your attention as she formulates the rest of her thought. (This is not the same thing as stuttering .) As long as she can speak clearly by the time she's ready for first grade, your child's on track. But as a general rule, trust your instincts. If something seems wrong to you, ask about it. After all, you know your child best. That said, keep your eye out for any of the following possible warning signs; if it helps, print out this form for a helpful reference.

Extractions: Expert: The BabyCentre Editorial Team [See Biography] Question: If my toddler has a developmental delay, what could be causing it? BabyCentre Editorial Team: Some children will have delays in a particular area, such as walking , while the rest of their skills continue developing on or ahead of schedule. If that's the case for your child, it may just mean he's concentrating so hard on talking or understanding that his brain has pushed walking to a back burner for the moment. Learning to walk late can also run in families or it may be a reflection of your child's personality: some children are more independent than others, and this has a bearing on how soon they learn various skills. You may also find your child takes no interest in walking for months and then makes a sudden leap forwards (literally!). However, if you are concerned about any aspect of your child's development, it is important to bring it up with your child's health visitor or GP.

IMPLICATIONS OF CULTURE ON DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY

http://www.kidneeds.com/diagnostic_categories/articles/culturedelay01.htm

Extractions: By Rebeca Valdivia Developmental delay refers to a lag in development rather than to a specific condition causing that lag. It represents a slower rate of development, in which a child exhibits a functional level below the norm for his or her age. A child may have an across-the-board developmental delay or a delay in specific areas. When a child's development appears to lag, many service providers prefer to apply the less specific term "developmental delay," rather than a more specific disability diagnosis, since symptoms of specific disabilities may be unclear in young children. It is possible that a child with a developmental delay who receives services will not develop a disability; whereas if the same child did not receive services, the delay would become a disability. 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.

http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/fcs/human/pubs/nc12.html

Extractions: Cornell University Extension Service Years ago, parents were told to institutionalize children with Down's Syndrome as infants. Now we know that children with Down's Syndrome and other developmental delays can have rewarding and full lives with family and friends in their community. One 19-year-old girl, when asked how she felt about having Down's Syndrome, replied, "Great, I feel good about myself." When asked what she thinks people should know about her condition, she said, "The first thing is that I am a human being who has the same feelings as everyone else, but the most important thing is that I like to be treated like every other member of the community." Let's look at one situation you could encounter when a child with a developmental delay comes into your program. Remember that children with developmental delays and Down's Syndrome have more similarities to other children in your care than differences. For example, Michael, a four-year-old with a developmental delay, comes to your program with developmental skills similar to children at a chronological age of two-and-a-half years. As a child care provider, should you place him with the two-year-olds or four-year-olds?

The vast majority of these labels are not proper diagnoses , but rather they are descriptions of the symptoms of brain injury. A proper diagnosis describes where the injury exists in the brain, the degree of the injury to the brain, and the extent of the injury to the brain. Using symptoms in place of a proper diagnosis almost invariably leads to the attempt to treat those symptoms rather than the brain, where the child is actually injured.

Extractions: Often people with developmental delay and learning disabilities such as Down's Syndrome will respond to music. The response may range from a blink or a smile to vocalisation, singing or dancing. Music therapy can offer opportunities for response and expression to children and adults with developmental delays. Music Therapy and Communication People with developmental delays may have delayed motor development and/or physical disabilities. Playing musical instruments and singing are simple ways to demonstrate ability regardless of the sound created. Movement to music develops self-awareness (Hanser, 1987). The movement can be slight like tapping a chime or bell with a hand or finger or large like gripping a beater and playing a cymbal, tone bar or drum. The connection between the sound and the persons movement encourages self-awareness and repetition, which can create a learning environment. Adults and children with developmental delay can move to music in physical exercise and in dance. These types of experiences will also encourage social interaction, enjoyment and exercise. Because music is time ordered it is an ideal stimulus to help coordinate movement (Davis, 1999).
