[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it age thing or based on severity?[/quote] In the IEP world usually a child is recoded by age 9 or before from "delay" to a category that generally stays long term. With my ST delayed kids who also had motor issues, diagnoses were doled out at age 3 and 6 by developmental pediatrician and neuropsychologists who evaluated them.[/quote] Educationally this is true although I think it's age 8 for the IEP because by that point the assumption is that the kid likely won't be catching up. That being said in the SN world it is used casually in the place of "developmental disabilities" also. My kid has several diagnoses and I prefer not to share his medical information. If pressed I will say he has "developmental delays" because it's pretty vague.[/quote]
