Developmental Disorders in Children

Developmental disorders in children are a group of conditions that affect how a child grows, learns, communicates, and behaves. These disorders can impact cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development. Common examples include autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and learning disabilities. Symptoms can range from difficulties in communication and social interactions to challenges with motor skills and attention. Early diagnosis and intervention are important, as they can help improve a child's functioning and overall quality of life. Support from healthcare professionals, educators, and families is essential for helping children with developmental disorders reach their full potential.
