Assignment: Study Guide Forum: Global Developmental Delay
Global developmental delay (GDD) is considered a delay in the cognitive and physical
development of children. The term is specifically utilized to explain developmental delays
among children aged five years and below, where physicians identify them during routine checks
or after a parent raises concerns. Children with GDD tend to take a longer time developing new
skills than other children of the same age. While developmental delays are known to affect
various aspects of children’s development, GDD affects most or all areas of children’s
development, thus interfering with their cognitive functionality and adaptive behavior
development. Establishing a diagnosis allows clinicians to choose the most appropriate treatment
approaches, undertake surveillance for known complications, in addition to offering prognosis
and family support.
Signs and Symptoms of GDD According to the DSM-5
GDD is termed as a delay in some of the developmental domains of children. The DSM-5
criteria explain GDD as a diagnosis set aside for children aged below five years, who tend to
exhibit a delay in at least two of the five developmental areas that include motor skills, cognitive
skills, speech, social, as well as emotional development (Belanger & Caron, 2018). The delay in
the five areas of children’s development are manifested by symptoms that include:
Delay in sitting up, crawling, and walking
Gross motor difficulties
Communication problems
Limited reasoning
Aggressive behavior as one of the coping skills
