How do i help my developmentally delayed toddler to catch up to his/her peers?

my daughter is 32 months old she has been diagnosed with a rare disorder and has developmental delay she is a little slow for her age although her understanding of things is great she just cant apply these things developmentally and i wnat to do all i can to help her catch up to help her learn things she doesnt have a very good attention span like she cant focus on one task for very long and she isnt really in to having books read to her or flash cards but i would like her to overcome her delay and i wnat her to learn age apropriete things she can not run yet or jump yet (i dont know how to teach her these things) but basically i want her to learn things like abc's colours shapes days of week how to dress herself and potty training...i want to help her learn normally and develop normally so she can grow out of her delay...i am confident with the right method of teaching (or her preferred method) that she can outgrow her delay does any one have any tips on how they have tought there delayed child and what has worked for them im willing to try anything.
