Key high-yield points
- Global developmental delay (GDD) = meaningful delay across multiple developmental domains (gross motor, fine motor, speech/language, social/adaptive). GDD is often idiopathic; where a cause is found it may be genetic, metabolic, or acquired. Environmental deprivation is a reversible cause that must not be missed.
