Developmental delays become apparent when a child is slow in reaching their developmental milestones compared with children of the same age. This could affect their physical, cognitive, language or social/emotional skills.
When two or more developmental areas are severely affected it is referred to as Global Developmental Delay or Early Developmental Impairment. If impairments persist individuals may be later diagnosed with a learning disability.
As children with this condition can be delayed in any and multiple areas, they are supported by the members of the team that will best meet their needs. This may include our Learning Development Specialist, Physiotherapists or Speech and Language Therapists.
At Brainwave we see children with a range of conditions including those with Global Developmental Delay/ Early Developmental Impairment. Our experienced multidisciplinary therapy team will take the time to assess your child’s needs before establishing shared goals. We will then use our knowledge to develop and teach you a home-based programme that you can deliver on a regular basis with our ongoing support.
