My 5 year old has a speech delay. It's a moderate developmental disorder.
What does this disorder comprise of?
Delayed speech, problems with articulation, etc. He also has epilepsy so that complicates things.
Im sorry, hopefully he gets better in his adult life.
Yes, the doctors say he will most likely outgrow the epilepsy. He has actually come a long way though. Speech therapy works well.
, these two latter conditions are not as stable as the other developmental disorders, and there is not the same evidence of a shared genetic liability.
Developmental disorders are present from early life. Most improve as the child grows older, but some entail impairments that continue throughout life. There is a strong genetic component; more males are afflicted than females.
Emergence.
Learning disabilities are diagnosed when the children are young and just beginning school. Most learning disabilities are found under the age of 9.
