Can global developmental delay be cured?

Global Developmental Delay (GDD) cannot be “cured” in the traditional sense, as it is not a disease but a neurological difference in how a child develops. However, many children make significant improvements with the right therapies and supports.

Outcomes depend on:
  • The cause and severity of the delay
  • The age when intervention starts
  • Access to consistent, evidence-based therapy
  • Support from families, educators, and health professionals

Some children may go on to develop at a typical pace, while others may require long-term support.
