A developmental disorder refers to a condition that typically manifests
early in childhood and affects a child's physical, cognitive, behavioural, or
emotional development. These disorders may result from genetic factors,
prenatal exposure to substances, complications during birth, or unknown causes.
Common developmental disorders include autism spectrum disorder (ASD),
attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), intellectual disability,
communication disorders, and motor disorders like cerebral palsy.
Developmental disorders can vary widely in severity and impact,
influencing a child's ability to learn, communicate, interact socially, or
perform daily activities independently. Early diagnosis and intervention are
crucial to provide tailored support and therapies that can improve outcomes and
help children reach their full potential. Treatment often involves a
multidisciplinary approach, including therapies such as speech therapy,
occupational therapy, behavioural interventions, educational support, and sometimes
medication to manage associated symptoms.
Support from families, educators, and healthcare professional’s plays a
pivotal role in addressing the challenges and promoting the development and
well-being of children with developmental disorders.
