Developmental Disorder

 Developmental disorders are impairments in a child’s physical, cognitive, language, or behavioral development. They can impact everyday functioning and usually last throughout a person’s lifetime. Developmental disorders can affect physical abilities, such as vision, and mental abilities, such as learning. Many of these conditions affect multiple body parts or systems. Developmental disorders can take a toll on an individual’s physical, intellectual and emotional growth. Providers at MaineHealth are committed to monitoring and screening patients so that they can get the early intervention they need.
