WORKING AREA
Autism
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors. Some persons with ASD excel in visual skills, music, math and art. Autism appears to have its roots in very early brain development.
Down syndrome (DS)
Down syndrome (DS), also called Trisomy 21, is a condition in which a person is born with an extra chromosome. With Down syndrome, the extra chromosome causes delays in the way a child develops, mentally and physically. The physical features and medical problems associated with Down syndrome can vary widely from child to child. While some kids with DS need a lot of medical attention, others lead healthy lives
Cerebral Palsy (CP)
Cerebral palsy is the general term for a number of neurological conditions that affect movement and co-ordination. Neurological conditions are caused by problems in the brain and nervous system. Specifically, cerebral palsy is caused by a problem in the parts of the brain responsible for controlling muscles. CP can occur if the brain develops abnormally or is damaged before, during or shortly after birth.
Specific Learning Difficulties
Specific Learning Difficulties (or SpLDs), affect the way information is learned and processed. They are neurological (rather than psychological), usually run in families and occur independently of intelligence. SpLD is an umbrella term used to cover a range of frequently co-occurring difficulties, more commonly: Dyslexia. Dyspraxia / DCD. Dyscalculia. A.D.D / A.D.H.D. SpLDs can also co-occur with difficulties on the autistic spectrum such as Asperger Syndrome.
Intellectual Disability (ID)
Intellectual Disability (ID), once called mental retardation, is characterized by below-average intelligence or mental ability and a lack of skills necessary for day-to-day living. People with intellectual disabilities can and do learn new skills, but they learn them more slowly. Someone with intellectual disability has limitations in two areas. Intellectual Functioning, also known as IQ, this refers to a person’s ability to learn, reason, make decisions, and solve problems & Adaptive Behaviors, these are skills necessary for day-to-day life
Developmental Delays
As you watch your child grow, remember that each child develops at his or her own pace and the range of normal is quite wide. However, it is helpful to be aware of red flags for potential developmental delays in children. These delays are significant lags in one or more areas of emotional, mental, or physical growth. If your child experiences a delay, early treatment is the best way to help him or her make progress or even to catch up. There are many different types of developmental delays in infants and young children.
