Document Summary

A child with a motor delay is following normal course of motor dev, but at a level that is below expectations for the child"s age: child with down syndrome walks around 2 a year delay. May be attributed to disabilities: cerebral palsy neurological disorder that affects brain input to muscles, spina bifida damage to spinal cord that results in partial or full paralysis, down syndrome genetic disorder that affects muscle tone and coordination. Some may be due to problems with cognitive processing and attention: intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, autism, Motor delay: following a normal course of motor dev but at a level that is below expectations for age. For some reason the child does not acquire motor milestones and skills at same rate: motor delays are not motor deficits, may eventually catch up. Structural differences that does not allow the child to develop the same pattern of movement as peers who do not have that disability.
