Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article examines developmental delay and the implications of such disorders. Firstly, developmental delay is defined and the normal developmental process is briefly described. The types of problems which ensue if this process is interrupted or disturbed are then viewed. The need and importance of early intervention procedures are substantiated by experimental evidence, and the present tendency for late diagnosis, and the reasons for it, are also considered. Finally, Occupational Therapy as a discipline, it is argued, has a role to play in the treatment of children with developmental delay as well as providing support for parents.
