2: 3Ds Soup: Delay, Disorder, and Difference
Description
In this episode of P Soup, we dive into an important and sometimes challenging topic—understanding when a child's development isn't following the expected path. I break down the three "Ds"—Developmental Delays, Developmental Disorders, and Developmental Differences—to help parents better understand what these terms mean, how they’re identified, and what support might be available.
We’ll talk about the emotions that come with navigating these diagnoses, why labels can be both helpful and overwhelming, and how professionals can be more sensitive when sharing information with families. Whether you're seeking clarity about your child's development, wondering about early intervention, or just looking for reassurance, this episode is for you.
