What causes GDD?
GDD (Global Developmental Delay) can have a variety of causes, some of which are identifiable while others remain unknown. The underlying issue typically impacts the child’s brain development and function.
Common causes may include:
1. Genetic or chromosomal conditions
2. Problems during pregnancy (e.g. maternal infection, poor nutrition)
3. Birth complications like oxygen deprivation
4. Premature birth or very low birth weight
5. Early childhood illnesses, infections, or injuries
In many Australian cases, a clear cause may never be found, but this does not prevent the child from receiving early supports.
