According to the revised Georgia rules\/regulations the term Significant Developmental Delay does not apply to children who are experiencing a slight or temporary lag in one or more areas of development, or a delay which is primarily due to environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantage or lack of experience in age appropriate activities.<\/p>\n<p>Referrals come from many sources including, but not limited to: Babies can\u2019t wait, parents, physicians, daycare providers, pre-k teachers, Head Start, family, friends, teachers of siblings.<\/p>\n<p>For a parent to refer their
