Understanding Developmental Delays

Developmental delays occur when a child does not reach developmental milestones at the expected times. These delays can affect various areas of development, including speech and language, motor skills, social and emotional skills, and cognitive abilities. Early identification and intervention are crucial to support children with developmental delays and help them achieve their full potential.
