Can global developmental delay catch up?

Yes, some children with Global Developmental Delay do catch up to their peers, especially when the delays are mild and identified early. Others may continue to experience developmental differences into school age or adulthood.

Children are more likely to catch up if they:

• Receive early intervention through the NDIS
• Have access to skilled allied health professionals
• Participate in supportive home and learning environments
• Are monitored regularly for progress and emerging needs

The earlier supports begin, the more likely the child will meet their developmental goals.
