Specific developmental disorders are disorders in which development is delayed in one specific area or areas,[1] and in which basically all other areas of development are not affected.[2] Specific developmental disorders are as opposed to pervasive developmental disorders[2] that are characterized by delays in the development of multiple basic functions including socialization and communication.[3]

In the fourth edition of the DSM specific developmental disorders are no longer grouped together.[7] Instead they are reclassified as communication disorders, learning disorders, and motor skills disorders.[1]
