This study aimed to evaluate diagnostic and hearing patterns in children with Down Syndrome (DS), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Global Developmental delay (GDD), and Cerebral Palsy (CP) who were unable to complete reliable BA testing due to severe cognitive delay.

May 1, 2021 · Children with disorders commonly associated with cognitive delays, including DS, ASD, GDD, and CP, represent a unique population known to be at increased risk for hearing loss, and face additional challenges when establishing hearing thresholds.

The term 'Developmental delay', or 'Global development delay' (commonly abbreviated to ‘GDD’) is used when a child takes longer to reach certain development milestones than other children their age.

Global Developmental Delay (GDD) is a condition where a child experiences significant delays in reaching developmental milestones, such as motor skills, speech, and cognitive abilities. The condition may vary in severity and requires early diagnosis for effective GDD treatment options.

Global developmental delay (GDD) affects 1%–3% of the population of children under 5 years of age, making it one of the most common conditions presenting in paediatric clinics; causes are exogenous, genetic (non-metabolic) or genetic (metabolic).
