The purpose of this study is to present a uniform finite difference method for numerical solution of a initial value problem for quasi-linear second order singularly perturbed delay differential equation. A numerical method is constructed for this problem which involves appropriate piecewise-uniform Shishkin mesh on each time subinterval. The method is shown to uniformly convergent with respect to the perturbation parameter. A numerical experiment illustrate in practice the result of convergence proved theoretically.
