Analyze the statement

The statement claims that if an individual does not develop at the same rate as their peers, it is always an indication of abnormal development.

Evaluate developmental variation

Developmental psychology establishes that while there are general milestones, individual rates of physical, cognitive, and social development vary widely. Differences in developmental rates are often normal variations rather than signs of abnormality or pathology. The absolute term "always" makes the statement false.
