Developmental disorders are a diverse group of long-term conditions that begin in early childhood. Children may have difficulties with learning, communication, mobility, or behavior, which can affect a child’s ability to participate in personal, social, or academic areas of life. The features of each developmental disorder are different, but most are characterized by a delay in reaching expected developmental milestones.
The assessment and diagnosis of developmental disorders is a specialized field, and it typically involves a team of health professionals, including pediatricians, child psychologists or psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, and speech pathologists. Treatment plans tend to involve a combination of medical care, skills training for children and parents, therapy sessions, and other supports. Therapy is usually highly structured and aims to help individuals improve their coping and function at their best. Working with a social worker individually or with the whole family can provide emotional support to parents and caregivers, as well as provide the opportunity to help them learn how to best support their child.
