Frequently Asked Questions
  • What are developmental disabilities?
    Developmental Disabilities encompass a broad range of conditions due to an impairment in physical, learning, language, or behavior areas. 

  • What is the difference between developmental delay and developmental disability?
    Developmental delay is when a child didn’t reach one or more of their developmental milestones within the expected age range. With early intervention, most children with a developmental delay overcome their challenges and perform at the same level as their peers.
