A developmental delay is just that: a delay. Children whos development is delayed can reach the normative standard for any developmental bracet within their age choohorts, as long as the delay is caught early and they get adequate support.
So right. I worked with kids for a short time in my youth and we had a few kids that were delayed in some areas. For example there was one that had issues with their motor skills and we exposed kiddo to little tasks that would challenge their motor skills and encouraged them so that they wouldn’t connect shame to their delay. I wonder where they are today. They were a great kid and there was nothing wrong with them intellectually or other. They just had some challenges in one area and that was okay.
It is so trippy to think about how they and all the other kids I helped look after back then, are fully grown adults in their early twenties today. Time is such a trip.

Considering that this is a 4chan user, it probably didn’t quite work out.
