5 CONCERNING MENTAL DISORDERS AMONG CHILDREN

Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and psychometric assessments are used to assess the cognitive and communicative abilities of individuals with developmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and specific language impairment (SLI). In some cases, these assessments are used to determine the appropriate level of support an individual with a developmental disorder requires.

If you are a parent of a child who is developing differently, you have probably been told that there is something wrong with your child. As a parent, you have probably been told that there is nothing you can do to help your child improve. However, a psychological assessment can help determine whether your child has a developmental disorder, which is a condition that is present from birth or infancy, or if there is something wrong with your interpretation of your child’s behaviors. A psychological assessment can also help determine the best course of action to help your child reach their full potential.

Autism Spectrum Disorder Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that is present from birth or infancy. The core features of ASD include challenges with social communication and interaction, as well as repetitive behaviors and interests. The specific symptoms and challenges that an individual with ASD faces will vary depending on their age at diagnosis and their gender. However, some of the most common characteristics of ASD include difficulty understanding non-verbal communication, difficulty interpreting facial expressions, difficulty sharing interests and emotions with others, and repetitive behaviors such as hand-flapping or echolalia.

Speech and Language Disorders Speech and language disorders (SLD) refer to disorders that affect a person’s ability to communicate through the use of language. These disorders can affect speech, language, reading, and writing. Children with speech and language disorders often do not receive the early intervention services that are critical for their overall development.

Learning Disabilities Learning disabilities (LD) are disorders of the brain that affect a person’s ability to learn. They are the most common non-organic learning disabilities. There are two main types of LD: specific and differential. Specific LD refers to disorders that are present from birth or infancy, while differential LD develops over time

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that is present from birth or infancy. The symptoms of ADHD are variable in presentation and can include inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Inattention is a core symptom of ADHD and is present in all presentations of the disorder. In children with ADHD, inattention is characterized by a lack of sustained attention to details and to the environment.

Global Developmental Disorder The symptoms of a global developmental disorder can be present in one area or across multiple areas of development. The core symptoms of global developmental disorders include delays in the development of a particular area of development. However, the symptoms of global developmental disorders extend beyond the core symptoms of the disorder and may include a variety of other symptoms. These other symptoms are referred to as secondary symptoms of a global developmental disorder and may include a variety of other signs or symptoms.

If you are a parent of a child who is developing differently, you have probably been told that there is something wrong with your child. As a parent, you have probably been told that there is nothing you can do to help your child improve. However, a psychological assessment can help determine whether your child has a developmental disorder, which is a condition that is present from birth or infancy, or if there is something wrong with your interpretation of your child’s behaviors. A psychological assessment can also help.
