Lesson # 3
Background: According to the education department of Newfoundland, developmental delay are
defined as:
Developmental delay is defined as a condition which represents a significant delay in the
process of development. It does not refer to a condition in which the child is slightly or
momentarily lagging in development. The presence of developmental delay is an
indication that the process of development is significantly affected, and that without
special intervention it is likely that the child's ability to attain normal developmental
milestones and educational performance at school would be jeopardized. Normal
development falls within a range and children whose maturation falls outside this range
could be provided with special education supports. More precisely these children have
skills deficits including specific delays in language, perception, meta-cognition, and
social, emotional and/or motor development. (NFL ed)
