What are developmental disabilities?
Developmental disabilities are conditions that are usually present at birth. They can affect a child's growth and development, causing physical, learning, language, or behavior issues. Conditions can include learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), cerebral palsy, physical disabilities such as blindness or deafness, and conditions like Down syndrome. Early treatment may help your child learn important skills and make the most of their strengths.
