Developmental vulnerability among CALD and non-CALD children. A population-based study of nearly 60,000 children in Western Australia revealed that those from CALD backgrounds faced higher developmental vulnerability. Compared with their peers, CALD children were more than twice as likely to show difficulties in communication skills and general knowledge, and were also at greater risk in language and cognitive development. The findings highlight the need for culturally responsive policies and targeted early childhood support to bridge developmental gaps.
