Delayed motor maturation (often familial): this is the term to describe a late walker who is normal in other respects. The motor skills are of normal quality but are delayed. There may be an associated mild hypotonia. It is a diagnosis of exclusion.

Severe learning disabilities: there is a delay in all developmental areas but gross motor development is often less affected than fine motor skills, language and social skills. There may be some associated dysmorphic features and hypotonia is often present.
