What Is Global Developmental Delay (GDD)? Global Developmental Delay (GDD) is a term used when a child is developing more slowly than expected across multiple areas of development.

And it’s not a label that defines who a child is. It simply describes a difference in developmental timing across more than one area. That’s it. If this helped you understand Global Developmental Delay (GDD) more clearly, explore the rest of the A–Z of Neurodiversity for real-life, no-fluff explanations designed for parents navigating the spectrum.
