Research has found that the degree to which a child's growth and development can catch up or get back on track following early deprivation is dependent on the timing and severity of the deprivation. This means that the earlier the deprivation and the more severe it was, the more difficult it may be to fully recover from it. Treatment and intervention can play a role in aiding recovery but it is not independent of the type of treatment available. Gender and genetic factors may also have some influence on development but they are not the primary factors determining catch-up growth and development.
