Developmental Disabilities
Developmental Disabilities are a group of conditions due to an impairment in physical, learning, language, or behavior areas. These conditions begin during a child’s developmental period, may impact day-to-day functioning, and usually last throughout a person’s lifetime.

“Developmental Disabilities” is an umbrella term that includes intellectual disability but also includes other disabilities that become apparent during childhood (manifested before the age of 22). Intellectual disability (or ID) is a term used when a person has certain limitations in cognitive functioning and skills, including conceptual, social and practical skills, such as language, social and self-care skills. Disabilities may also be physical, such as blindness, or may affect mental ability, such as learning disorders.
Examples of developmental disabilities can include but are not limited to:
- Autism
- Behavior Disorders
- Brain Injury
- Cerebral Palsy
- Down Syndrome
- Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
- Intellectual Disability
- Spina Bifida
