  • 33% delay in one area of development or a 25% delay in two or more areas of development: cognitive, physical (gross motor, fine motor, vision and hearing), communication, social or emotional, and adaptive development.
  • The child has to score 2.0 standard deviations below the mean in one developmental area or 1.5 standard deviations below the mean in each of the two areas on the testing protocols administered.

2. Diagnosed Physical or Mental Condition

These conditions include, but are not limited to:

  • severe attachment disorders
  • disorders secondary to exposure to toxic substances, including fetal alcohol syndrome

3. Informed Clinical Opinion

Clinical opinion may be used by qualified professionals to determine the initial and continuing eligibility if the child's evaluation and assessment results do not meet the criteria for developmental delay, and the child does not have a diagnosis that has a high probability of resulting in developmental delay.
