Developmental delay. A significant discrepancy in the actual functioning of an infant or toddler when compared with the functioning of a nondisabled infant or toddler of the same chrono- logical age in any of the following areas of development: Physical devel- opment, cognitive development, com- munication development, social or emotional development, and adaptive development as measured using stand- ardized evaluation instruments and confirmed by clinical observation and judgment. A significant discrepancy exists when the one area of develop- ment is delayed by 25 percent or 2 standard deviations or more below the mean or when two areas of develop- ment are each delayed by 20 percent or 11⁄2 standard deviations or more below the mean. (Chronological age should be corrected for prematurity until 24 months of age.)

Developmental delay. Children with KS have reduced cognitive abilities and motor skills, variable severity of learning difficulties, mental retardation, and behaviour in the range of autistic spectrum disorder. Ho et al reported two boys who even demonstrated a deterioration in their IQ during early adolescent years (Xx and Xxxxx 1997). The developmental outcome in children with KS is variable, though the majority have a mild spectrum adaptive and intellectual disability (Xx and Xxxxx 1997, Xxxxxxx et al. 2005, Xxxxxx et al. 2005, Xxxx et al. 2005, Xxxx Xxxx et al. 2008).
