Study: Increase in Developmental Disabilities

Monday, May 23, 2011 by Elizabeth Fagg
A research study released today indicates a higher incidence of children with Developmental Disabilities in our society.  For expectant parents and parents of young children, the statistics seem daunting, but a big picture should be considered when interpreting this new data.  Fortunately, with an increase in diagnoses comes in increase in social acceptance for variances among children as well as in increase in available services for these children. 

In Charlotte, NC alone there are long lists of physicians, teachers and therapists available to diagnose and treat children with a wide array of needs.  There is much research, old and new, to show that Early Intervention is the key for children with special needs to achieve their potential! At Child and Family Development we house speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, psychologists and even a pediatric psychiatrist that can help you get started early and make the best decisions for your child's individual development and success.
