Developmental Disorder Stem Cell Therapy

Developmental delay is defined as failure to meet expected developmental milestones in one or more of the following areas: physical, social, emotional, intellectual, speech and language and/or adaptive development (sometimes called self-help skills, which include dressing, toileting, feeding, etc).

These delays are diagnosed when a child performs approximately 25 to 30 percent below age norms in one or more of these areas (with adjustment for prematurity in affected children). Progress occurs at a slower than expected rate following the anticipated sequence. Various medical and environmental causes exist.

 

Some examples of physical or mental disorders likely to result in delayed development are:

  • Chromosomal abnormalities
  • Genetic or congenital disorders
  • Severe sensory impairments, including hearing and vision
  • Inborn errors of metabolism
  • Disorders reflecting disturbance of the development of the nervous system
  • Congenital infections
  • Disorders secondary to exposure to toxic substances, including fetal alcohol syndrome.

The verification of delay is obtained through an evaluation process, which includes at least three of the following: informed clinical opinion to include observational assessment, standardised development test(s), developmental inventory, behavioural checklist, adaptive behaviour measure and parent interview. Developmental delay can occur temporarily, or it can be long-term and never fully resolve.
