OP in testing have you had a full hearing screening done and a complete visual  screening done?   Her doctors did not want her to have any screen time due to her vision.  Your DD sounds like another toddler I have heard about since birth.  This little girl is similar in motor skills and is seeing a private PY and is now using a stander to build up weight bearing strength etc,
 Working with a PT.  
There has been initial genetic testing done, but after nothing found, due to her global delays, they did the paper work with insurance to get a more detailed profile. They are working with someone at Johns Hopkins.
You need to be sure that DD will get access to all therapies  that she might need as there is a push in early intervention to have one therapy and other needs met by this person supposedly as a cost saving measure.  This approach for a child with global delays is not good as one may need PT, ot, and speech.   A full neuropsych evaluation might be helpful at some point.
Get information on when your child can start any center-based preschool programs.   In ArLingtton, I know it is 2 years old for those with multiple needs, but it may be 3 years old in other divisions.  Overall, best approach is to have no limits on what your DC might be able to do and put in the one-to-one time as give your toddler time with other youngsters in natural settings as the more stimulation the better with others.  As you find a connection that clicks then reenforce and build on it.[/quote]
